Over the past three weeks in PRTM 3220: Facilitation Techniques in RT, our junior cohort has been hard at work leading their own interventions for assigned populations. Some of the creative activities included holiday-themed balloon volleyball, Coping Skills Jeopardy, and Memory Jars—just to name a few!

These facilitation sessions give students the opportunity to apply what we've covered this semester, including facilitation skills and techniques, trauma-informed care, activity analysis, phases and processing, evidence-based practice, and more. We’re proud of the thoughtful, engaging work they’ve been doing! 🎉
