The weekly discussions start with a brief self-examination challenging you to explore your own thoughts and ideas in the practicum. The purpose is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself as you begin to develop the necessary clinical skills as a mental health provider. It should only take a few minutes to write, and no references are required. (As a result, note that the rubric for the self-reflections is slightly different from the standard discussion board rubric.)
Reflection topic suggestions:
Post your original response by the end of Day 3. Then, by the end of Day 6, respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts.
If you copy and paste references from the course into your assignment, be sure to confirm APA formatting before submitting.
