This year, for the first time in many years, we will be having a student complete her internship placement with us at FAME. I would like to welcome Karen Naismith, who is a second year Child and Youth Worker (CYW) student at Humber College.
Karen will be joining us in our FAMEkids program, where we hope she will gain valuable knowledge and experience in working with children and families impacted by mental health issues. She will have the opportunity to co-facilitate our next FAMEkids group program in Mississauga this fall, as well as sit in on some individual sessions. Karen will also be helping with the Strengthening Families for the Future program at Jean Tweed Centre. Karen will have many other opportunities to learn and grow with many new experiences until her placement ends in April 2015.
Karen attended the University of Windsor for the Psychology Thesis program with a minor in Family and Social Relations. She also brings experience from her previous placement at the Christine Ossington Neighbourhood Centre, specifically with the Nook Children's Program.
We hope Karen will enjoy her time with us at FAME. Welcome to the team :)
