Supervision Practice Scenario 3 - Charlie

Charlie is a Peer Specialist at the local Recovery Center, a peer-run program that helps people to discover (or rediscover) the kinds of things they like to do in the community with a focus on vocational recovery. Charlie loves what he does and spends a lot of his time out in the community working directly with the people he supports. Rather than start his day at the Center, he often goes directly to meet people where they are in the community and it is not unusual for several days to go by before he comes in to the Center.

One day, you hear a troubling report from a woman Charlie has been working with in the community. She said he seemed angry about something and stormed away from a class he had dropped her off to attend. He left her there without a ride home or any further explanation.

The next morning, Charlie shows up for work as if nothing has happened.

As Charlie’s supervisor, what would you do?

• Create a new post with your response to "As the supervisor, I would..." (taking into account what you learned from the course faculty)
  
• Review at least 3 postings from others in the class
  
• Respond to at least 1 posting from someone else in the class with additional thoughts about the posting.
