As a private, non-profit agency dedicated to helping emotionally and behaviorally troubled preschoolers and their families, your training will expose you to a wide range of psychiatric disorders throughout your year.

The Children's Center is not APA accredited. However, given the scope of our training program none of our interns have had any difficulty gaining employment or getting licensed. Moreover, it has not impacted their ability to gain access to insurance panels.

The stipend for the 2006 academic year is $18,000. We also provide health insurance and ten vacation days during the internship year.
