| Approval Notice | |
| Questions for Mentor | Is there any detriment to staying in the chair? I feel like I can give them everything they need, but also feel a little pressured to “do more”. |
| Care Plan | Outline should be a practice adapted to the needs of that client/group, including:
Your care plan proposal should be approved by the mentor before session 2 if possible, or 3 if approval is delayed by mentor. |
| Session | |
| Session Instructions (Not Mentoring) | Your session outline should be a practice adapted to the needs of that client, including:
Tools from each module should be used (not on each client – but overall) |
| 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. |
