Internships at Washburn Center for Children

Washburn Internship and Practicum Opportunities

Washburn Center for Children offers internship and practicum opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students who seek experience working with children and their families in therapeutic programs. These programs are center-based, home-based and school-based and include individual, family and group treatment modalities.

Interns may assist staff and/or provide direct service with supervision and have many opportunities to learn about services in mental health for children and families. To enhance their training experience, interns may attend agency clinical in-services on children's mental health and case consultation meetings.

Washburn services include: diagnostic assessment, family therapy, individual therapy, psychological testing, parent counseling, therapeutic groups, home-based therapeutic services, case management, psychiatric services, and consultation with schools, day care centers and other agencies.

Washburn programs run year-round and internship and practicum opportunities can range from three months to a year.
