Improving client access to legal and social services: A Social Work student’s experience in field placement

How did you select the right placement for you? When first meeting with staff of the Legal Help Centre (LHC), I knew that their organization would be the right fit for my final social work practicum placement. My conversation reflected LHC’s vast knowledge on the social issues commonly confronted by clients at LHC and the care the staff put into the work they do. Furthermore, they showed how much they valued the role of the social work student in the organization. What would a day at your placement look like? What role did you play? One of the main points of contact for clients is through drop-in clinics. These clinics are offered twice a week on a first-come, first-served basis. Clients meet with a law student, discuss their legal issue, and are provided with legal information and referrals. Due to the interrelated nature of social and legal issues, clients may also meet with me as the social work student. Once I gain an understanding of the social issue, I then provide them with a referral to a community organization that can help address the issue.
