About the Organization
The Lab aims to promote research in youth mental health and to translate research findings into having a positive impact on the lives of young people. The lab comprises faculty and graduate students engaged on research relating to youth mental health.

On-site Supervision and Support
Our internships include 24/7 on-site staff to support students working and living abroad. All students will also report to a supervisor at their internship site. Supervisors provide and oversee daily tasks, introduce the intern to team members, and mentor the intern in organizational agility, skill acquisition, and career readiness. Interns complete a midpoint and final evaluation, and supervisors complete a final evaluation of their interns. All work responsibilities and projects are approved in advance.
