We are usually slower to assign an individual caseload given the severity of needs and
diagnosis of our population which often generates a high degree of anxiety for students, but
they do eventually get connected in order to fulfill the specific hourly requirements of
internship. Fast-paced environment, multiple crisis opportunities, a rotation through
departments (MH, SA, ES) is required. Intern needs to be self-motivated and willing to
approach the treatment team for opportunities as they are expected to help create and seek
out opportunities independently with guidance from supervisor.

counseling as students have attempted to offer groups with limited success. However, individual
direct client contact hours are usually plentiful and the generalist nature that is required for
