Abstract

In this brief report, we discuss the importance of socializing interested undergraduate students into a mental-health focused internship, particularly associated with a Couple and Family Therapy program. We present information on the design and implementation of the program, discuss feedback received from alumni, and describe its evolution over the semesters. Finally, we make the argument to include similar types of internships in other university and college programs for undergraduate students in an effort to solidify interest in mental health graduate programs.
