Practicum possibilities

So I am finally getting some where with starting some practicums. I have finished one of my intensive sessions with BCSAT (British columbia school of art therapy) and am now looking at starting some art therapy groups. I have been volunteering with mental health and addictions for a couple of years now teaching art. Now with a small amount of instruction under my belt I feel confident in adding art as therapy to my current volunteer group. As I think about what kind of therapist it is that I want to be I find I am constantly changing my mind. I have a heart for mental health and addictions but also in family therapy. (that may just be because I have finished my course in family art therapy.) But if I could help families of those suffering with addiction that would be ideal. So the possible practicums I may start this summer include working solo in withdrawl management services, detox and maybe with an occupational therapist in psychiatrics at the hospital. At present I am a little bit intimidated by some new environments, but look forward to breaking down the barriers and stigmas that I have  associated with these populations. God has truly blessed me with this career choice, and if I can serve others the way he has intended, I will be truly happy no matter where I am.


Blessings
