Student Placement Guide

The purpose of this guide, designed for placement students, was to teach them self-care techniques and thriving strategies with customizable reflection prompts to assist placement students in navigating the challenges they may face and cultivating a greater sense of well-being to mitigate burnout and compassion fatigue.

The development of this guide was made possible thanks to the remarkable backing of the Thrive TMU Team. Much of the positive psychology content is based on Dr. Diana Brecher’s Thrive TMU curriculum, which I adapted for this context. Furthermore, Dr. Brecher provided editorial input and facilitated the integration of Thrive TMU materials into the Placement guide. Venus Bali has contributed through helpful feedback and editing of the guidebook, allowing it to be present in this current form. Finally, Mehul Bhagat has provided helpful graphic editing and stylistic choices regarding the finalized version of the Placement Guide.
