Learning Highlights:
Information I applied from
class:

•
•
I took two orientation
workshops while on practicummed orientation and abuse
protocol.
I learned to come out of my
comfort zone more which I
pushed myself to do.
I got to work with a resident on
achieving his goal of setting up
and implementing an art show.
•
•
Key Component:
When working with
the residents, we
work as a positive
role model and
mentor in there life
and help them to the
best of our abilities.
•
•
I used a lot of critical thinking
during practicum.
I used a lot of ethic models
during practicum when it came
to problem solving.
When communicating with
residents, I applied a lot of the
skills I learned in helping
relationships when having to
communicate with residents.
I also applied what I learned in
AAT in my practicum
experience as well.
Exciting moment on practicum- I got offered a casual position working at the Bea
Fisher center.

3.  Both of these agencies focused primarily
on the positive growth and development
of their clients.
 I was able to see both sides of an agency
because of the 2 different roles
 Lakeland Wellness: I focused on the way
that those working with youth use and
obtain resources, and the
administrative aspect of a non profit
organization eg. doing research, writing
articles
 The Edge Youth Center: I focused on
building relationships with clients, and
organizing and running activities for
youth ages 12-18.
My Learning Highlight
Seeing how building a trusting
relationship with a youth can
teach both of us so much! And,
how awesome it is to see people
happy!
Course Connections
I found many connections
through my courses. I would
say that Helping Relationships
was the biggest thing I could
connect with. Because of the
techniques we learned to form
trusting relationships
