Posted by Home Start Intern-Nicole
We’ve been at Home Start for 11 weeks now, and the to-do list continues to grow. Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever reach a point where this all seems second nature to me. I have had some real trouble with establishing clients this semester, but I’m not giving up hope! I have two open cases – both with adolescent clients. I’ve seen the caregivers, but have yet to meet the clients themselves. I’m determined to meet one of them this week! I’m opening a Parent Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT) case this week, and I’m really excited to have Veronica shadowing me. Her calm demeanor might help me relax a little! I continue to co-facilitate the Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (ASCA) group for women. We are in our sixth week! It is a little hard to believe that group is half over.
My fellow interns and I have formed a pretty cohesive group, and I’m really very happy with my placement at Home Start this year. The supervision I receive here is always excellent, and I’m sure I’m on the path to being a competent, confident, mental health professional.
