<\/a>Reginald Harris<\/strong> (SSW \u201815) was quoted in Bella English\u2019s article \u201cCambridge Nonprofit Offers Kids Summer Fun\u201d\u00a0 published in the Boston Globe<\/i> on August 12, 2014. Harris, who is in his second year as a clinical social work student and part of the family therapy certificate program, spent his summer counseling students at Daybreak Day Camp in Cambridge.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy biggest takeaway from the summer is that children who experience social and emotional behavior issues very rarely have the opportunity to experience fun new things and play,\u201d Harris said. \u201cPlay is essential to childhood development and is the basis of socialization.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 30 campers, who may never have experienced camp without Daybreak, attended three field trips a week and participated in many other activities. \u201cWe\u2019re helping them develop the skills to resolve conflicts, to have more resilience,\u201d Harris told English.<\/p>\n

Daybreak is a day camp program designed specifically for children with a variety of emotional, social or behavioral issues. Harris found out about Daybreak through his foundation year internship at the Amigos School in Cambridge.<\/p>\n

Daybreak has 17 trained counselors, specializing in different practices. Harris used the knowledge he gained at BUSSW throughout the summer. \u201cMy group work clinical course was especially useful, seeing as though most of the work I did as a counselor was in small groups,\u201d Harris said. \u201cThanks Professor Underwood!\u201d<\/p>\n
