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.

What you would change with benefit of hindsight	I would assess her energy level in the first session.

Did you enjoy your service?	Yes, very much so. It is rewarding to see significant changes in the client physical and mental health in the last session compared to the first one.
