I am currently a masters student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have had difficulty trying to find a site for my practicum, as no one replies to my emails. Any suggestions?

Go into a community health agency in person…they might not be able to pay you…but they would likely appreciate your help.

You might try calling (or personally walking into) shelters, psychiatric hospitals (or general hospitals with mental health services), foster care agencies or your local community mental health agency and ask to speak with the Clinical Supervisor/Director. You might also try the school systems. Hope these suggestions help! Good Luck!

Your school should be providing you with practicing sites. That is part of it being accredited. What do your classmates do? Is this an online school or an in person school?

Have you spoken to your advisor?

Hi 👋. I posted here a few weeks ago about being nervous conducting a PIP conversation with my team member.
I did it this week and let me just say it was the weirdest conversation ever. The guy is usually argumentative and tries to disprove every bit of feedback. But this time he just sat there and asked no questions and said nothing.
Maybe he’s looking for new jobs already - don’t mind this at all and this would be a good outcome for him overall.

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.
