Student will present on her field observations and hands-on work done at her internship site, the family and children’s center of Winona. Presentation will show the knowledge gained from engaging in the centers adolescent day treatment program. The clients participate in 3 hour sessions, 5 day’s a week: an hour of group skills, followed by group therapy, and ending with supporting client’s wants/needs. I will explain what the hands-on learning has taught me that wasn’t able to be learned in the classroom. The presentation will include challenges faced and how I overcame them.
