30 Clinical Supervisor s Feedback on TIER Implementation! TIER has provided a platform for us to improve the way in which our clients are being served, by allowing for more organized conversation about who our clients are and how we can play a purposeful role in their lives.

31 Clinical Supervisor s Feedback on TIER Implementation! TIER has provided living charts that are accessible, adaptable, and fluid; asking that clinicians reassess case conceptualization and evaluate the course of treatment on a regular basis. Supervision has allowed for more time to collaborate; an opportunity for clinicians to hone in on which techniques are the most appropriate and effective for each client they serve; challenging clinicians at times to learn new techniques and grow as clinicians. As clinicians become more purposeful in their work, the client benefits from treatment that is tailored to their needs, not just based on a specific skill set the clinician has.
