The SCPS internship is generalist training that includes conceptual and experiential training. Interns who are flexible and invested in learning and growing in a graduated manner over the course of a year are a good fit. Additional qualities of candidates who are a good fit are those who value a broad definition of diversity, have a willingness to engage in a wide range of service delivery activities (e.g., individual and group counseling, emergency/on-call during business hours, supervision, outreach, intakes) with a positive attitude, are invested in receiving and giving feedback, and are patient with the process of learning and growing. Interns will be asked to actively engage in self-reflection and dialogue about those reflections to improve clinical service delivery and promote professional development.

While there are certain training experiences that will be uniform between interns completing the program, space is provided to tailor the internship in certain ways such as type of groups co-facilitated, types of outreach events provided, and preferred areas of rotation each semester (e.g., Group, Diversity, Eating Disorder, Outreach).
