Students engage in supervised experience and field work in a wide variety of clinical, psychiatric/ psychological, community organizational and agency settings in mental and physical health, community action and civic engagement and social welfare settings. A weekly seminar will include student presentation of placement experiences and issues relevant to successful field work and service delivery. The impact of systematic structural inequalities, prejudice and discrimination, diversity and multicultural sensitivity are integrated into issues relevant to the availability and success of community mental health professionals and community resources. Field research techniques including observational methods and field notes will be covered in preparation for a final research paper integrating the internship experience with literature review. Students are required to engage in an approved placement 80 hours (distributed over at least ten weeks). Students must attend a mandatory Field Orientation Workshop with the Field Coordinator and secure an internship prior to registration. The Field Coordinator will register students into Field after they meet the criteria for registration.
