Resources for Supervisors

Transfer of Learning

Have you ever attended a training, left excited and energized to go put the information into practice, only to get back to your office and one week later not be able to remember the content? 

Virginia trainings have been designed with a suite of tools to support you in transferring your learning and your staff’s learning into practice so you can both continue enhancing your skills and knowledge.  

“That almost magical link between classroom performance and something that is supposed to happen in the real world.” -J.M. Swinney

What the Research Says

Research shows that what you, as a supervisor, does with your training participant before and after a training event (either synchronous or asynchronous) are two of the top three influencing factors in the transfer-of-learning process. View Virginia’s transfer-of-learning plan here!

Mental Health Resources

MHA Screening: Online screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine if you’re experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. Our screens are free, confidential, and scientifically validated.

988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: The 988 Lifeline provides 24/7, free, and confidential support to people in distress – you don’t need to be suicidal to reach out. Call 1-800-273-8255 to be connected with a crisis counselor. Crisis counselors who speak Spanish are available at 1-888-628-9454.

988 Textline: When you text 988, you will complete a short survey letting the crisis counselor know a little about your situation. You will be connected with a trained crisis counselor in a crisis center who will answer the text, provide support, and share resources if needed.

Crisis Text Line: If you prefer texting to talking on the phone, text MHA to 741-741 to be connected with a crisis counselor who will help you get through your emotions.

Warmlines: Warmlines are staffed by trained peers who have been through their own mental health struggles and know what it’s like to need someone to talk to. Visit HERE for more information on warmlines.
