The paper reports on the experience of supervisors in the context of developing the skills of cognitive-behavioral therapist interns in a program of health prevention and promotion in childhood in a group format. The competency-based supervision process was grounded in active methodologies and involved theoretical training, role-playing practices, problem-solving training, session recording, and self-reflection, within a guided discovery process. The supervised process was conducted weekly by two supervisors: a primary supervisor and an observing supervisor, through reports and recordings of the sessions. The program was implemented with a group of three interns, who led group sessions with children aged 8 and 9 years. The importance of the alliance between supervisor and therapist is emphasized, as well as the complexity of developing clinical skills, which requires an integrated and flexible approach.
