From MFTi to MFT!

That's right! I passed the clinical vignette exam on September 23rd and officially entered into the licensed world October 14, 2010! 

I plan on writing some tips about the exam process on here in the coming months.

MFTSFBAY Empowerment League on Facebook

After hearing too many stories of MFT Interns becoming discouraged by the licensing process the Hulk got mad and made me start a Facebook group based: the Mftsbay Empowerment League.  Become a member today!

I don't have a plan of how we all can build solidarity and support each other but there is a need so let this be a first step towards getting organized.  If you have ideas please email them or post them to the group. 

If there's a bunch of us in the group then if you have a question you could send it to me and I'll post it to the entire group.  Also, you can post articles, jobs, etc. that would be of interest to interns.

See you in camp and remember: Smash!

Mental Health Loan Assumption Program

If you are already working in the public mental health sector and can commit to working full-time for another year, then you can apply for the Mental Health Loan Assumption Program. If your application is accepted you receive $10,000 towards your student loans!

Less you think that many apply but few get accepted, this year they extended the deadling to March 16, 2010 "due to availability of funds."

CAPIC Internship Listing

Shane David, MFTI was kind enough to send me the CAPIC internship agencies list meant for PhD. and PsyD. students. However, many of these agencies also accept MFT interns so take a look:
