(Literal) Contact Name and Mentorship place
Joanne Carr - Presbyterian Inter- Community Hospital
Ms. Williams - Ross Medical Pharmacy
(Interpretive) What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
I would say coming to the understanding of the importance of satisfying your client and making sure they are appropriately dealt with to best suit them. At both places I've seen how important it is to maintain or build a relationship. There is a lot of trust that has to be built up and continued through the whole process of being with the clients.
(Applied) How has what you've done helped you to answer your essential question?
Through mentorship, I've definitely learned a lot of communication skills and am constantly learning hot to deal with people if put in a certain situation. My mentorship with Ms. Carr was a lot more relaxed and harder to associate with the clients due to liability laws but the other mentorship was a lot more action. I had to constantly talk with people and sometimes people would just come in to vent. I've come to my best answer through mentorship because I've seen that talking things through with clients, getting them to understand and making steps for them to change really helps them. People need support and with talking their situation through and trying to take action, we see a lot of growth in them as individuals. My essential question being "What is the most effective way for a therapist to support a struggling client?" is best answered with the process of setting goals and a plan of action for the client. Mentorship has definitely been a big way of me coming to this answer.
