Since I last journaled, I have completed roughly another 40-50 hours at my practicum which will leave me around 100 hours completed by the end of this week. While reading Drolet, Clark and Allen (2012) I have decided that I feel that the readings in Chapter 6 were most relevant to what I have been experiencing in my practicum. Since the last seminar date my practicum has been filled of hands on learning and I am enjoying every minute of it. I am beginning to feel more and more comfortable with client interactions. I am feeling like I am more confident and calm when speaking with them. Since my improvement in this area I feel as if clients are much more receptive to me when I am calm and confident when talking to them.

And how do they approach it? There are many resources in prince George that focus on justice, like probation. But none quite like the urban aboriginal justice society. We are the only restorative justice organization in prince George. With this being said, we do have many other local organizations that we work very closely with and have great relationships with incase one of our clients is in need of supports that are out of our organizations skill sets. Throughout my practicum I have learnt and witnessed the importance that lays in building and maintaining relationships with workers at other organizations in town. Having key relationships with other organizations can make the process of referral way easier and when it is easier the client is able to access the help and services they need sooner than later. An example of this I witnessed in practicum, was my supervisor had a client wanting to go to treatment and in the application package there was a form that needed to be filled out the ministry of social development, in regard to funding. My supervisor was lucky enough to know one of the ladies at the ministry well enough to simply phone her, ask her to fill out the paper work for him as we were on a tight time schedule. Since he had this connection, the form was filled out and faxed back to us within the hour and this helped the client go to treatment
This ensures that those who are in poverty are benefitted within the criminal justice system and are not discriminated against. Nova Scotia Micmac and the criminal justice systems is another topic that is given recommendations within the commission. Under this topic a community controlled Native criminal court is proposed, with a Native Justice of Peace that had the jurisdictions to hear cases that involve a summary conviction on a reserve. It would also provide mediation services, rehabilitation and court worker serves on reserves.

One main solution to reduce overrepresentation of Indigenous Canadians within the justice system is the implementation of widespread, accessible restorative justice programs. Restorative justice is essential in improving the experiences of Indigenous offenders as they are centered around Indigenous ways of knowing, which allows for a more familiar, meaningful, and equitable process (Mackinnon, 2023). These programs take a community-based approach, one that focuses on healing the offender, victim(s), and the community to limit recidivism and understand the underlying causes (i.e. poverty) that may motivate Indigenous offenders (Editorial Board, 2022; Mackinnon, 2023). Breaking down the systemic barriers facing Indigenous communities requires an environment of mutual respect, understanding, and compassion, and restorative justice makes this environment possible (Editorial Board, 2022; Mackinnon, 2023). According to Eggleton & Saint-Germain (2018), restorative justice focuses more on rehabilitation, rather than punishment, which results in a more just long term solution for all involved.

English 102 Reflection During the course of English 102, I took this year of the spring semester. I have accomplished a variety of goals I once thought were impossible. I have not only grown as a writer and a student but as an individual as well.

There were some assignments that I have done poorly on.
Being the clinician and conducting an intake interview was one of the most the practical, informative, and thought-provoking assignments I have completed throughout undergrad thus far. While allowing me to practice clinical interviewing skills, I learned how difficult yet essential various skills were in order to successfully complete an intake process. Specifically, I found taking a direct approach and asking specific questions was most successful. For example, with my client, Ian, I was able to find out the most relevant information about his manic tendencies through asking him specific questions. His intake form described having manic tendencies in the past, though there was not enough information there to really get to the core reason for
