Kducational Leave Report

The activities I am undertaking this year
are of three types. They involve taking
courses at UBC, serving in community coun-
selling services, and visiting other col-
leges and institutes.

The fall looks like this:

1. UBC courses: - Counselling Theory
- Theory of Group Dynamics

RM

. Community Helping: Vancouver Hospice

Project

- Weekly training sessions

- Providing emptional support to termin-
ally ill patients and their families
(at Vancouver General Hospital one aft-
ernoon a week, )

After Christmas, the activities change:

1. UBC courses: - College & Adult Counsel-
ing
- Cross-cultural Counselling
- Counselling Women

2. Community - MOSAIC (a cross-cultural
counselling centre)

- observing, attending staff
meetings, helping as need
arises.

Throughout the year I will visit other local
colleges and institutes. I will spend the
most time at the King Edward Centre of Van-
couver Community College to learn about
their testing program, and services to new
Canadians. Then I plan to visit Pacific Vo-
cational Institute and Kwantlen College to
learn more about their programs in general,
and TRAC in particular.

If anyone would like to talk to me about any
of my plans, please feel free to contact me
at home.

See you next September:
