    Supporting individuals experiencing mental health and addiction in homeless populations in Regina: case management experience at Salvation Army Waterston Ministries
    (Faculty of Social Work, University of Regina, 2024-11) Oduenyi, Chinonso Stephanie
    This practicum report describes my learning and insights gained at the Salvation Army Waterston Ministries, Regina, Saskatchewan. My work as a practicum student involved providing supervised case management support and services to individuals experiencing houselessness/homelessness, including those with mental health challenges and/or those living with addictions. This report explains the rationale for my practicum placement, the programs and services offered by The Salvation Army Waterston Ministries, my learning goals, objectives, and the activities completed to accomplish the learning goals. A literature review focused on issues of homelessness in Regina, as well as the social work intervention of case management within which I integrated Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care (TIC). Within this report, my worldviews have been informed by a strength-based perspective, ecological theory, and a mental health approach that incorporates elements of anti-oppressive practice. This report also includes a discussion of ethical , dilemmas and challenges I encountered throughout the practicum placement.
