Bea Fisher Practicum Experience
The Bea Fisher Center provides individual services for persons with developmental disabilities. It’s located in Lloydminster
Bea Fisher Vision: Is an leader in innovative service delivery for persons with developmental disabilities in obtaining a successful meaningful life.
Learning Highlights:
• I took two orientation workshops while on practicum- med orientation and abuse protocol.
• I learned to come out of my comfort zone more which I pushed myself to do.
• I got to work with a resident on achieving his goal of setting up and implementing an art show.
Information I applied from class:• I used a lot of critical thinking
during practicum.• I used a lot of ethic models
during practicum when it came to problem solving.
• When communicating with residents, I applied a lot of the skills I learned in helping relationships when having to communicate with residents.
• I also applied what I learned in AAT in my practicum experience as well.
Exciting moment on practicum- I got offered a casual position working at the Bea Fisher center.
Key Component: When working with the residents, we work as a positive role model and mentor in there life and help them to the best of our abilities.
The Edge Youth Center& Lakeland College Wellness
Both of these agencies focused primarily on the positive growth and development of their clients.
I was able to see both sides of an agency because of the 2 different roles
Lakeland Wellness: I focused on the way that those working with youth use and obtain resources, and the administrative aspect of a non profit organization eg. doing research, writing articles
The Edge Youth Center: I focused on building relationships with clients, and organizing and running activities for youth ages 12-18.
My Learning HighlightSeeing how building a trusting relationship with a youth can teach both of us so much! And, how awesome it is to see people happy!
Course Connections
I found many connections through my courses. I would say that Helping Relationships was the biggest thing I could connect with. Because of the techniques we learned to form trusting relationships
