MDCS42580 CAP Clinical Placement 3

Academic Year 2023/2024

Clinical placement for Child Art Psychotherapy students in years 3 and 4 is carried out in a new setting from CAMHS in years 1 and 2. For this module students
engage with a clinical placement in an approved setting working to maintain a caseload of 6 clients per week. Examples of clinical placements include Tusla and
post-primary school settings; other contexts may be arranged and are subject to Steering Committee approval. This clinical placement builds upon students’ clinical
experience from years 1 and 2 while increasing the caseload from 3 to 6 clients. Students are expected to attend placement 2 days per week and attend regular (i.e.
fortnightly) case management supervision with an area manager or other senior team member.
This module is closely linked with the Supervision 3 and 4 modules which support the student’s clinical practice and development.
