Intern Training Program

Training professionals in community mental health practice is an important part of the Center's mission. We believe the best way to develop clinical skills is through a rich and challenging clinical experience in the context of strong supervision from our multi-disciplinary staff.

The Internship Program provides clinical placements for graduate students in social work, psychology, and counseling. The Clinical Associate Program offers advanced training for clinicians at the post-doctorate and post-masters level.
