[humanser] Question For The List

Wed Jul 12 01:27:37 UTC 2017

I want to commend the staff in your department for being proactive and asking questions. It's better to ask questions then to assume things are barriers that aren't. I do hope that they take your advice and join the listserv. You are blessed to have such a good working relationship. I wish you all the best as you search for an internship and the future.

> I hope those who were able to make the convention are enjoying themselves! I wanted to post a question to the group. As a person new to the mental health field, I am sure as I begin my practicum and internships next year, I will encounter issues, situations, that pertain to the site, it’s supervisors supervisors, and advocating for myself as a blind, successful, and independant mental health professional. I met with my department head and the head of the internship/practicum department, and they want to be proactive with me in preparing for my internship and practicum. They want to know what may be some potential barriers, common misconceptions about our abilities, or   situations regarding our field that we may encounter as I interview and apply to intern at various sites. I encouraged the department to join the Human Services division, so that all of the department can be  educated , not only internally in the department, but also as they advocate for their students in the field.  Can you guys please share any experiences, encounters, or  barriers and share how you overcame them.I appreciate you in advance for being gracious in your wisdom. I look forward to your responses. Feel free to also write to me directly if you wish at secretary at nfb-tn.org or James.A.Boehm at Vanderbilt.edu.
