Job Summary
The student will have the chance to work directly with the multidisciplinary team at CYHC. A hybrid model will combine one part supporting the team with front-end greeting to new walk-in clients, and one part training and providing experiential evaluation of counseling sessions to Counsellors. Since the experiential counselling sessions are anonymous and the workshops can be completed online, this part of the practicum will take place first before students can participate in person at the Centre.
During work with Counsellors, students will isolate the applied skills used and note the counseling tools that were most effective. They will provide this information back to the Counsellors.
In all aspects of this practicum, students are asked to be welcoming and supportive of an inclusive environment.
*the information shared during the therapy sessions will be kept confidential and will not need to be shared in the final report.
The practicum hours are from 1 PM to 7 PM once a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday). This could be in person or remote.
The student must have excellent oral communication skills as well as an ability to problem solve and make others feel comfortable.
Confidentiality is required.
