SuperAssist App for Mental Health Providers
This study is testing a mobile app called SuperAssist, which is designed to help mental health professionals improve how they supervise their staff. The app aims to make supervision more focused on the client's goals and needs, which could also help with the staff's job well-being. Researchers want to see if SuperAssist is practical to use and what its early results are. You might be able to join if you are a mental health staff member who provides care to adults recovering from mental health or substance use conditions, or if you supervise such staff. The study will measure how staff perceive supervisory support at 3 and 6 months to see if the app makes a difference. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 180 participants.
- Study design
- This is a pilot randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to different groups to test the SuperAssist app. The study plans to enroll 180 participants.
- What's involved
- You would learn how to use the SuperAssist app and implement client-centered practice and supervision. You would also need to be willing and able to attend training.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your perception of supervisory support will be measured at 3 months and again at 6 months after starting the study.

What this trial measures
- Change from Baseline Perception of Supervisory Support (PSS) Scale at 3 monthsmeasured with staff at 3 months
The Perception of Supervisory Support (PSS) Scale assesses perceived support from the perspective of direct service providers through measuring emotional support (e.g., feel more positively about my job), support for client goal alignment (e.g., gain greater clarity on a client's goal), and support for professional development (e.g., discuss career development), along with supervisory relationships (e.g., improve relationship with my supervisor). For supervisors, items are reframed to ask how their supervisees may perceive the level of supervisory support through their supervision. The PSS Scale uses a 6-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Never) to 6 (Always).
