As an EMP facilitator, I was required to co-facilitator a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) 4 week program, in a group and individual setting, with inpatients typically presenting with Personality Disorders or Complex PTSD. DBT skills that were explored with patients were derived from Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness and Mindfulness modules. Whilst exploring DBT skills as a group, the role required managing a consistent environment and ensuring the safety of all patients, by enforcing adherence to the policies and rules that were agreed upon from the onset of the program. This was assisted by the frequent open communication with other allied health professionals promoting a multidisciplinary approach to patients overall wellbeing.

My role at Apollo Gym is to walk potential new member through the gym showing them the facilities, signing them up and ending memberships. The other role included cleaning the facilities such as vacuuming, wiping down machines, mopping and restocking toiletries.

My role at Batterbing was primarily to operate the register, organise all orders from phone to Ubereats and communicate and resolve any issues with customers. I would also aid the cooks by grabbing any ingredients they needed and set up stations for them too. My time at Batterbing taught me to how to befriend and sympathise with people from different roles, so that everyone can work effectively.

My role at 3rd Party containers was to travel to different container sites and manually load an unload shipping containers. I was always punctual for my 6am start time, as well as my 8:30am lecture every other day at RMIT. The most important thing I learnt from working at 3rd Party Containers, was the ability to travel to different sites every shift and work with a new person every time and be able to get along with every single one.
