I spent this week at my internship and I am going to learn quite a bit. I am currently working on a psycho-educational group about diversity and cultural acceptance. There have been a few issues lately with client's disrespecting individual's cultures. Since we are working with adolescents and are trying to teach them real world skills, this group is needed. I believe I will be doing the group on January 25th, unless something changes.
The internship had a welcome ceremony for all the interns and that made me feel welcomed and appreciated. During the ceremony I found out that I will be doing TWO different types of work. In addition to direct practice, I will be doing Macro type work as well. I will be assisting with grant writing and data analysis every Thursday and as needed. I am excited about this because I want to do a thesis and the experience will help me prepare for a thesis. I am also hoping that this experience will help me get a full time job this summer so that I can reduce, or eliminate further student loans.
