Running Total: 25 1/2 Hours
9:00 am- 1:00 pm
On Saturday, April 27th i met with my mentor again at her office for another 4 hours 9:00am- 1:00pm . So what i did was basically the same things i did the last time which was on the 19th. I again was filing the Client progress note, picking up the kids area making sure all the toys and game boards where back onto the shelves and that they were all stacked neatly so that if a kid was reaching for a toy the whole shelve full of toys wouldn't come tumbling down on him. i was also asked to wipe down some of the surfaces like the table in the kitchen where they have some great snacks by the way, and also wipe down some of the toy areas. after i was waiting for my mentor to finish session with a parent because although she counselors kids she also sits down with parents and guides them on how to manage their kids. because the kids here at "A Better Way" are foster children taken by the state, so what this organization offers is supervised visits with the parents or parent. so they can give them some advice and counseling that they need for their good and the good of their child's. after her meeting with the parent my mentor started the play therapy with her client and the child's parent right with her. For this play therapy session i just got to watch and see the different ways my mentor talked to him, and now that i jut got to really sit and focus on the things she was saying i can really tell how some of the questions no matter how simple might trigger something for these kids to say. overall i thought that this was another successful day for me and just getting more experience in this office and seeing first hand what her days are like is always interesting.
