Abstract

This paper is a reflection of my clinical counseling experience during practicum placement at Family Service Saskatoon (FSS) for my Master of Social Work from the University of Regina. The practicum report presents and analyses strength-based group work, from a feminist, mutual aid perspective. Issues related to culture and social work ethics are discussed. Barriers to learning, practices that could enrich the practicum experience and visions for future social work group work are presented. While I have chosen to apply the integrative practicum report framework outlined in the University of Regina Faculty of Social Work Guidelines for the MSW Practicum in a flexible manner for the purposes of this report, I have covered the suggested topics in the body of the report.
