Accomplishments
- I facilitated group therapy sessions at Desert Mountain Healing IOP for 6 months. As an undergrad, this was a very valuable experience and the amount of insight I got into the world of substance use disorder support was immense. I ran 3 hour group sessions with on average, 12 people. My main priority was making sure everyone felt supported and stayed focused on the module for that day.
Affiliations
