Belize January 2024

Therapy Abroad helped create the most amazing and educational trip I have ever been on. From the extracurricular activities we were able to go on to the therapy and people we were able to work with, Therapy Abroad made sure every aspect went above and beyond our expectations. I met and worked with people and facilities I will never forget. I gained a different perspective to life from cultural responsiveness and appreciate to the clinical skills. I gained experiences I would never be able to any where else. Therapy abroad created a program to help students learn and grow as people and future clinicians. On top of that, they’re hospitality and willingness to help others was extra bonus to the beauty of this trip.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
For me, going into a clinical setting I had never been in and having to use the little bit of knowledge I did have to help other was extremely scary to me but it helped me be prepared for new experiences in my future career. I have never worked in a nursing home, and this experience helped me grow a new appreciation and love for this population of people.
Pros
  • Beautiful and friendly from most
  • Learning experiences and growth
  • Food different and delicious
Cons
  • Bugs
  • Men can be creepy even towards large groups
  • Humidity

Memories and experience of a lifetime!

I have been back now for three days and I am still reminiscing my time in Belize. I can’t stop going over all of the different clinical experiences and excursions we were able to experience. Doing therapy abroad made me a more confident clinician, a faster report writer, and a more well rounded clinician. I was able to build my clinical skills up in Belize and see a handful of clients, but I was also able to strengthen skills I already had. I could not recommend going on Therapy Abroad more to anyone.

What was your funniest moment?
Some of the funniest moments were had during the various excursions with our cohort members. Sharing laughs during Zumba with Miss Jen, making pottery watching a friend take a turn and climbing the caves as a group. All of the excursions made for lots of laughs and jokes.
Pros
  • Your group will get so much closer, it is guaranteed.
  • You will become so much more confident in yourself.
  • You will get so much more experience in things screenings, things you can not get a lot of fast experience with in clinic settings.
Cons
  • You need to be flexible, if this isn’t a skill for you then you will gain it during your stay.

Amazing time!

I learned so much about myself and the many cultures and languages that are a part of Belize during this amazing trip! We were able to go zip lining, cave tubing, snorkeling, and explore San Ignacio. We were accompanied by amazing tour guides who made our journey that much more fun. As a speech language pathology graduate student, I participated in valuable experiences including completing evaluations in a skilled nursing home, leading group and individual therapy sessions, and building meaningful connections with the residents.

What was your funniest moment?
Spending more time with my cohort and bonding!
Pros
  • Learned about the culture of Belize
Cons
  • Didn’t pack everything I needed

Incredible!

I had the best time with Therapy Abroad in Belize! The hands-on experience was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I feel as though I grew both as a clinician and as a person. Justin and Jamie were so helpful in every aspect of the trip and made this an unforgettable experience. The excursions were both exciting and educational. I enjoyed visiting the Maya Women’s Group and learning how they make their own food, embroider, and make pottery. My only complaint is that I wish the trip lasted longer!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I have never been snorkeling before this trip and I had so much fun! From swimming with sharks and stingrays to feeding the fish, it was such a great experience!

Life changing

This trip was life changing. Not only did we get to experience the amazing beaches, cultural sites, views, food, etc, we got to make a difference and provide services to the most amazing, appreciative people. Everyone we encountered on this trip was so helpful and eager to make sure we had the best time possible. I felt taken care of and prepared by the therapy abroad staff the entire time. This trip was organized so well, and we got to experience many different things that Belize has to offer. Highly recommend this amazing experience to anyone interested.

What was your funniest moment?
Killing a giant spider in our room at 2am!
Pros
  • Growth as a clinician
  • Meeting amazing local people
  • Experiencing so many new things- becoming more adventurous!

The best experience

Truly the best experience I’ve ever encountered! I learned so much about effective, compassionate, and culturally, responsive service delivery. At the same time, we had so many adventures with the tour guides and the locals. I would not trade the experience for anything else. Additionally, I got to know my classmates and clinical educators better. I would highly recommend this study abroad opportunity to anyone seeking a better clinical understanding, and for adventure seekers. Therapy abroad is the best!

Belize!

This trip exceeded all my expectations! It was wonderfully planned and organized! There was a perfect balance between work and play. I felt that we were able to immerse ourself in the local community. It was great to be able to provide speech and language services to clients from 3 years old to 100 years old. We had the opportunity to see a variety of clients in different settings. Belize was a beautiful place to visit and we got to experience the sites on the main land and also the island. The activities were amazing. It was so much fun to experience Belize with this group of people!

Experience of a lifetime!

I couldn't have more good things to say about this trip if I tried! This opportunity brought me so many meaningful experiences and opportunities that allowed me to grow as a person and a clinician, and I feel so much more confident in my skills. This trip allowed me to build connections with the people we met during excursions and clinical experiences, and also grow stronger connections with my cohort members and clinical educators. I'm so grateful for everything I got to do and learn during this trip, and I'll definitely never forget it :)
