The Mental Health Practicum Student Support Group provides a safe non-judgmental space where practicum students throughout Canada support one another to reduce the stress during practicum
Everyone deserves support especially those working towards becoming a mental health care professional themselves.
Pressure balancing the priorities of your studies and practicum
Difficulty applying the theories you have learned in practice
Fear about not doing things right or being unable to please the supervisor
Adapting to agency or organizational expectations
The stigma that a counsellor should have their life together
Feeling alone and no one understands your struggles
Preventing transference and countertransference, which is difficult when helping clients
No, it does not.
It can be challenging to think about mental health students needing the very support they work towards providing. Mental health care is a universal need, and all that seeking support means is that you are human.
We all have the need to feel connected, be validated and heard.
Mental healthcare professionals starting in the field like you are not an exception.
