Intern completed diagnosis and treatment plans and reviewed with the site director. The intern was able to review the interventions that she wanted to integrate new practice modalities with her clients with the site director before implementing them. Intern also conducted a group for anger management that takes place every Monday. This week clients were able to discuss how they used strategies from the last session to keep them calm and not get upset. and she allowed the clients to speak about issues that make them become angry and how it makes them feel. Clients also discussed the assignment for anger management, and they discussed their feelings regarding it. Intern utilized the PHQ-9 assessment with clients at intake daily.

I incorporated skill- building targets and built upon skill deficits. I addressed skill gaps that consisted of social skills training, such as role play with a client. I also worked with clients to complete a Social Problem Solving worksheet. I instructed clients to practice their social reasoning during sessions. I informed my clients that their skills build confidence and increase the likelihood that they will access these solutions under pressure. This week in the parent support group, I included modeling and practical activities with interactive audio-visual aids, such as podcasts and videos. I wanted to help my clients get multiple perspectives to develop their social intelligence. This week, the client watched the video entitled An introvertâÂ€Â™s guide to social freedom âÂ€Â Kaspars Breidaks. This TEDx talk focuses on providing guidelines for self-identified introverts. In this video, Breidaks frames introversion as an opportunity rather than a weakness. The clients liked this video, and some asked me where to locate it. In the session, I paid attention to my interaction with my clients. Observers pay attention to the behavior they are witnessing. I always utilize retention. Observers retain the

information theyâÂ€Â™ve observed.
