Client/Group progress summary	Cin had an iron infusion and was very seasick, and could not come to class. The other clients seemed well and wanted more sessions.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I was very glad to have a special group of sweet people. I loved their insights and the support they gave to each other.
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.
