Pros
As an intern, I was able to have a caseload of intensive in-home families, outpatient clients, practiced doing diagnostic assessments, attended workshops for motivational interviewing, CPR, systems of care, and cognitive behavioral therapy. It is a good experience for someone who is new to the mental health field.
Cons
Some challenges at this agency were centered around the professionalism of some of the employees. Also, the agency had some financial and funding difficulties that caused most employees to be laid off unfortunately.
