Program Planning

Today started out with program planning for the groups. Now they there is a basic plan on what groups are being set up for this first 'term' things are starting to come together. Each FAN member spoke about the groups they are involved with and where they feel their group is at. They talked about the needs of the groups and what kind of training and supports they would need to have to resource as a team. It's hard to put into words all I am learning here and what I am taking out. I really am starting to see how truly amazing this program is and really enjoying the process of creating the programming that is suitable for each group. The passion and care that is put into the work is incredible and brings with it its own challenges. The team works so hard to meet the needs of the young people in the community around so many different hurdles.

I also completed my support and supervision with Eileen It was great to have a chance to really talk about everything that has happened this week for me in my placement and get to focus on what I am doing well and constructively talk about the areas I need to work on. I think this is something I have greatly been missing in my own practice for a while now. Its wonderful to have someone who believes in the work I am doing and who is a support in helping me strengthen my skills.

I know this week has had it's up and downs but I am excited for my last few weeks and to try and use what I have learned to really practice and do the best I can for the program. I am also excited to have a break and get to see some familar faces this weekend as I head off to see Paula.
