We have witnessed the challenges and the growth that integrating both content and process has for students.
Every term we have students that experience the centre in a unique way because of the way they deal with “content” and “process”
As this happens they attach meaning to this process, through supervision, discussions with other students or in session with clients

Methods of SupervisionIn technical terms we use:
IPR – Interpersonal Process RecallDiscrimination Model (Bernard 1997)
Conversations – with supervisors, other students, other supervisors (4 differing opinions)

Methods of SupervisionProcess Group
~ 8 students graduate studentsTalk about their experiences through their
practicum and course work
Drawing MeaningExperiences within the setting of the centre seem
to be the place that students begin to blend content, and process. Our assumptions are that this happens because of the real life situations they are facing.
Students have opportunities to explore this interaction with supervisors, other students and even clients.
Another way that they draw meaning is that they will have the opportunity to put together a practicum portfolio which requires them to put together some form of a practicum summary.
Any Questions
Research The UNBC Community Care Centre (CCC) in
collaboration with UNBC faculty members in supporting programs offers students and possibly clients the opportunity to participate in various research studies approved by the Office of Research and the Research Ethics Board. Students may consent to participate in research projects that are focused on a variety of interests of their own or faculty of the Centre.

Present Research
Student Growth ResearchThe scope of this research project is to gain a
greater understanding of the range of personal experiences and professional development that student counsellors have with supervisory feedback and their self-awareness process during training. We are using qualitative methods, online survey and in-depth interviews, to study the personal and professional growth of students prior to, during, and after a practicum placement at the UNBC Community Care Centre.
Student Experience I did not anticipate how I would grow, or how much I
would grow
I became more aware of myself through this practicum because of the supervision and opportunities to talk with other students
Feeling supported was an integral part to my growth
I was able to learn about the community as a whole and realize that my clients see me as their
counsellor and that is an honor
