What are your state’s requirements for practicum, internship, and supervision hours required for graduation and licensure? List two sites that would be an appropriate place to complete your practicum and internship requirements. What specialized training would these facilities offer to you? How does this affect your long-term plan? Identify if you are taking any specialty track (i.e., Emphasis in Trauma, MFT, Child and Adolescent, Christian counseling).
If you were specializing in a Trauma or Child & Adolescent track, the following sites would be ideal:
Site A: Children’s Institute (CII)
Focus: Focused on children and families who have experienced significant trauma, poverty, or community violence.
Specialized Training: They offer training in Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).
Long-term Impact: This placement would provide the "gold standard" for trauma certification, making you highly employable in any clinical setting involving youth.
