|
|
| Main activities and responsibilities | | | I work closely with young adults who are suffering from drug abuse or other substance abuse problems, providing psychological support and advice. I offer counsel patients in order to assist them in overcoming their dependencies and enable them to readjust to life and the changes of drug free living. My primary responsibility is to be someone that patients can call or meet with and talk to when they need extra support or reassurance. It is also my responsibility to make a judgement call and alert the hospital or police if I feel the patient is using drugs again or close to slipping from the rehabilitation schedule. With each patient, I develop a caring and trusting relationship and offer support until the patient and doctors agree they no longer need hospital assistance.

| Occupation or position held | | | Juvenile Behavioural Disorder Counselor job shadow |
| Main activities and responsibilities | | | In this program, I was allowed to shadow and work with a Juvenile Behavioural Disorder Counselor and observe her job activities and assist her with her patients. I was able to assist the counselor in providing long-term counselling to patients and their families individually and in group family sessions.
The counselor I worked with allowed me to offer my opinion on whether or not to recommend hospital stay or rehabilitation centres for patients with severe problems and different treatment methods. I assisted with all other daily activities including:
Meeting with patients at regular intervals to discuss their progress or lack of progress and what needs to be done to overcome the disorder.
Researching alternative treatment programs for patients with less severe problems.
Sitting in on counseling meetings for siblings and other family members.
Conduct individual and group counselling sessions.
Observed and practiced the method of documenting patient progress according to government regulations.
