This summer I will be working at the New York State Psychiatric Institute as a social work intern on the Eating Disorder Unit. Yikes! The NYSPI is one of the leading research institutes in mental health. It provides FREE treatment for those participating in the research programs.
I have worked with at-risk youth for the last five years, and although I love working with this population, I'm ready to venture out. What will pull me out of my comfort zone, challenge me, stretch me, and rock my world more then severe mental health? I want to learn more about human behavior, what makes our brains tick, what causes a psychotic break, and how to work with those in the midst of one. It's rigorous, intense, and scary. And that's exactly what I need. I think I'm ready, but we'll see.
