Welcome Mentor, Instructor, and Peers!
I am so excited to learn all I can throughout this online internship! I feel I am quite prepared for the next few weeks due to having such amazing teachers who have allowed me to grow in the classroom by making us continually practice skills that are needed in future settings. Skills such as continually practicing facilitation techniques, writing program plans, and conducting research has allowed me to be very prepared for this internship. Also the opportunity to shadow different recreational therapists in different settings such as mental health to long term care through fieldwork hours has most certainly helped as well. I hope to gain more confidence in my self when facilitating and also hope to develop a strong relationship with my mentor by working along side them through different assignments. My current interests in therapeutic recreation is working with adolescents in a mental health setting and working with recently freed prisoners on reintegration into the community.
Thanks for coming to my page! 🙂
