CURRENT INTERNSHIP POSITIONS FOR STUDENTS

*OUR TRAINING PROGRAM accepts qualified students
in university and college training programs.

IF you are a POST-GRADUATE PhD, MFT or MSW, we DO NOT take volunteers for licensing hours.

Instead, for MFTs and PSWs, please peruse the county jobs website at: www.sccjobs.org  for job opportunities as an entry level MFT I/PSW I. PhDs are generally not a part of the make up of our mental health department, but may be employed elsewhere in our system such as in Valley Medical Center. PhDs can also peruse the jobs site noted above under Clinical Psychologist. To get on a county hiring list, you must initially apply and sit for a scored oral interview . As positions come available, candidates on an active hiring list will be called to interview. If currently applications are not being accepted, you can click to sign up for an automated email notification system that will notify you when a list is being generated.

NOTE: We currently have the following internship openings as of: MAY 23, 2007

One immediate MFT Trainee opening working with families, children and adolescents (Spanish Speaking).

Two MFT Trainee openings in our post jail release PALS program working with clients on a short term intensive basis involving ongoing assessment, case management and treatment. Assertive community based treatment program with clients dealing with symptoms of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, significant depression, and PTSD, among other things. This is an exciting and innovative program aimed at keeping mental health consumers living in the community and preventing residivism in the jail and prison system.
