The SACE Practicum Program is on pause for the 2026-2027 academic year, and applications are not currently being accepted.
Completing a master’s degree practicum with the clinical team at SACE offers an opportunity to learn while supporting diverse clients impacted by sexual violence. Practicum placements focus on developing clinical skills in supporting adults or children and youth, alongside the co-facilitation of process-based and psychoeducational groups. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to participate in case consultations, modality-specific consultations, individual supervision, group supervision, and professional development as a part of the SACE clinical team.
The practicum program at SACE works to support students in developing a trauma-centred, ethical practice, rooted within a feminist framework. The impacts of sexual violence are far-reaching and unique to each person. Within the counselling program at SACE, we support clients in healing while navigating the complex intersections of identity, experience, and sexual violence.
Practicum students will be supported to engage in this work through individualized supervision, which includes case conceptualization, implementation of the Canadian Psychological Association’s ethical decision-making model and supervisor review, and debrief of live and/or video-recorded sessions (contingent upon client consent). Awareness of, or openness to, learning about sexual violence, its impacts, and intersections, is an asset to those applying for practicum positions.
