I got placed at the Rocky Mountain House
Health Centre. Formerly known as the Rocky
Mountain House Mental Health Centre.
00:55
This health centre was originally built in 1971,
but has gone through two renovations over the
years.

In 2009, the building went through its last
renovation, which included a new portable
wing.

The RMHHC is located fairly close to my house, only 42 kms
away! That means I can drive to and from each day without
needing to pay for accommodations.

During the winter months, I would leave an hour early to avoid
any traffic disruptions as well as allowing me time to grab a
coffee before my shift starts.

By living so close
to the practicum
site, I am saving
a bunch of money.
01:28
Over the six weeks,
I'll need $1478. This includes
rent, utilities, food, and fuel.
01:34
In addition to saving money,
the closeness allows me to
save on pet care, and I get to
come home each day to this
sweet pup.
01:40
For me to feel as though I have fully succeeded in this program,
I hope to have made enough mistakes to learn from, and grow
from the criticism I will receive.
