Intern Training Program:
Psychological & Counseling Services for HIV and LGBT Populations
Touted by several
state and federal agencies as a national model for leveraging limited resources
and providing both beginning and advanced levels of training to service
providers, The Center's Intern Training Program has existed since 1987. The
training environment provides direct benefits for both consumers and the larger
health services community. The utilization of advanced level interns maximizes
cost-effectiveness and increases the amount of services we are able to provide.
The continual exposure to recent theory and research, as well as the optimism
and dedication of new staff, elevate service delivery standards beyond that
which many other community-based agencies can reasonably expect.
Further, The
Center provides important training in LGBT and HIV/AIDS service delivery to new
social workers, psychologists and counselors, expanding their professional
awareness of the needs of these consumers and increasing the number of trained
professionals available to meet those needs.
