This practicum report details my experiences as a mental health clinician working at an Aboriginal Child and Youth Mental Health Services office located on Lekwungen Territory on South Vancouver Island, British Columbia. It includes an articulation of my theoretical framework and approach to social work practice, a literature review, and some discussion of my practicum learning goals, activities, and tasks. My main practicum goal centers on learning about Indigenous ways of knowing and healing as they relate to improving (mental) health and wellness. This practicum and report do not include research data, and instead focus on sharing the knowledge and skills that I acquired while further developing my clinical social work practice framework.
