What Past Students Have To Say

"This was a small close knit class, as a result I developed some deep and supportive relationships with my fellow SMF practicum students."
"This experience provided me with the sense that I had made a contribution to both the community and the agency’s service users."
"The seminar had a really positive impact on my practicum experience: unpacking, being challenged & supported, having an empowering supervisor (Carm). This was a really unique learning experience."
"The sense of acceptance I felt from the staff at my placement was amazing. I never felt like I was “just” a student, I was part of the team."


"I was surprised by how much I loved the work I did. I didn’t know when I applied if I would enjoy it all. So happy that I took a chance."
"The most surprising part of my experience was how confident I became in just six months! I discovered that I learn best when I’m gently nudged out of my comfort zone, and feeling confident while public speaking and running workshop activities was a new feeling for me."
