I really enjoyed writing the engagement strategy paper. I felt like I was able to apply what we have learned and also working with clients. It really helped to put things together.

I enjoyed the breakout room where we went into pairs and practiced interviewing.  Even though we didn't do it on our own I also liked the counseling lab and practicing responses.

The level of encouragement and support from Dr. Hussein was overall very impactful to my learning.

I have appreciated the opportunity to take a lot of my knowledge I have picked up over the years and organize it. I now understand the why. Especially with MI.

Learning about the ACE and CSSRS instruments were two large take aways for me. I have utilized them for the past three years in work and was never properly trained on them... This class really helped me with understanding just how powerful those assessments are the wealth of knowledge that comes from it!

We learned a lot of different skills when it came to working with clients, but I really appreciated how much the focus was on getting them to see their own positive traits for themselves and allowing them to write their own narrative of healing and recovery.

I appreciate that this class challenged me in terms of social work. I am Macro through and through and being that this class was more clinical, it made me think differently, which I truly appreciated. The last assignment allowed me to see I am capable of assessing clinically (although I still do not want to proceed with clinical social work)

Loved learning about motivational interviewing and all of the practical skills that comes along with it. I really enjoyed how much of the class was focussed on clients' strengths!

I enjoyed learning about OARS and have been practicing with my clients.
I shared this in supervision with another MSW intern and we had a chance to role play. We did the same with the suicide assessment.

It was impactful to learn that motivational interviewing is a practiced art as someone who is a former dancer and interested in dance and movement therapy it makes so much sense!!!

Implicit Biases & Intergenerational Trauma

Implicit Biases & Intergenerational Trauma

# data[].attributes.body
An activity which resonated with me was when we reflected upon the reading with the lawyer being compared to Anita Hill. The idea of implicit biases being so present and the reaction the author had was so powerful. Being presented with different perspectives to the reading and having a dialogue about it, I found so important and interesting. I also thought the concept of intergenerational trauma illustrated with my My Grandmother's Hands was so great!

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed the final assignment because it made me practice assessment skills that I normally don't get to and also how to thoroughly review all components of a client's life/environment, etc. The presentations from the class were extremely helpful to have as a reference for writing all of the assignments as well. I'm leaving this class finally feeling more prepared to obtain my MSW.

I have been really inspired by the Motivational Interviewing text. It is such a healthy, productive way to engage with people. I especially liked the section where it explained that a person is more likely to make a change when the idea comes from their mouth instead of yours (I paraphrased that...) I never realized how true this was-motivation needs to come from inside and it's amazing to be in a role where you're helping people inspire and motivate themselves.

I felt the engagement strategy assignment was helpful in my learning. I also appreciated the C-SSRS training. The MI textbook was useful and something I can use in my day to day practice with clients.

I enjoyed the positive asset exercise assignment. I interviewed a family member who is no longer with us. I was able to help her see her strength and show her how proud I am of her.

I really loved that this class actually talked about social work stuff! When I started the program I was disappointed that the first year was not really directly related to social work...like boots on the ground social work. It was nice to actually get some real helpful feedback on how to stand up for my patients and tying it back to the NASW code of ethics! I really appreciate your authenticity and the overall temperature of the class. Thank you!!

I really enjoyed the positive asset assignment.  I liked being able to work with a classmate and having an honest, self-reflective conversation about life and personal progress.  It was nice reading everyone's posts and seeing everyone's reflection on their conversations with each other.  I also liked the motivational interviewing section, as it was super interactive and VERY helpful!

Two clinical social workers (Phi and Jess) navigate the harm that comes with biases and breakdown the four I’s of oppression and how it has affected minority groups in the US.

What an amazing learning experience! Dr Hussein you made GREAT use of this platform. The lecture, breakout sessions, video clips, discussion and the ability to navigate and keep up with our chat was IMPRESSIVE! The power points were amazing!

# data[].attributes.body
The use of groups/breakout rooms for activities and discussions was a great way to connect and engage with my classmates. The positivity from Dr. Hussein helped to create a safe and influential learning environment. Overall, I've learned a lot of skills that I have already gotten to use with my clients and I am looking forward to next semester!

Motivational Interviewing Valuable!

I found genograms and ecomapping difficult would be a great breakout group activity!
