Client/Group progress summary	Everyone completed activities with modifications as needed, providing great support to one another considering 2 had active issues.
Reflection and self-evaluation	Session went well. Wasn't expecting one to arrive still not sleeping well due to CPAP troubles and tired, and another with general neuropathy flareup. The support to one another was a great asset to the group dynamic.
Final Client/Group Report	After seeing your client/group (for at least 4 sessions including interactive intake) Please remember practicum is a learning experience. You’ll learn more from sharing what’s accurate than from what might “look good”. Things you did well, not so well, problems and questions are all valid and useful tools to teach you. We can’t serve you to become the best clinician you can be if you don’t share your challenges and mistakes. Success is anything from which you learn. You can continue to add Session entries after submitting this Final Client/Group Report.
