SOC2theWorld- Southeast Asia

We would like to invite any internship and/or CES students to join us for an international internship experience in Southeast Asia.

Why?
Students will get to serve those living within Cambodia for 2 separate trainings- a 3-day trauma-informed training in Phnom Penh and a 3-day trauma informed training in Siem Reap. We are partnering with Matthew Stock (a past MFT student who is now a current CES student) and a few NGOs he and his wife work with in Cambodia. You will gain around 50-60 direct hours (systemic included) and 10 hours of supervision under Drs. Nanna and C. Hall. You will get amazing experience counseling outside of America and/or your current community! This will be a 16-day trip, including travel days. On this trip you can expect to encounter many exciting experiences including but not limited to:

• helping facilitate a counseling training by providing:
  • group counseling
  • psycho-educational materials
  • basic counseling skills training
• supervision with faculty and/or CES PhD students
• international travel
  • long flights
  • multiple airports/layovers
  • international customs
• a variety of travel in another country which will include:
  • miles of walking day-to-day
  • travel by car, bus, and/or train  
• staying in foreign hotels/apartments which may or may not have:
  • elevators
  • air conditioning
  • individual bathrooms
• foods to which you may not be accustom
• utilizing interpreters for travel, directions, and during counseling times

Please be aware that facilities may vary significantly from what you are used to in your current community. Buildings and temporary housing may lack basic amenities such as air conditioning, individual bathrooms, or elevators. You will also need to navigate long flights, multiple airports, and international customs, as well as prepare for extensive walking and various modes of transportation like cars, buses, and trains that may not be modernized or lack convenience or compatibility features.

When?
September 4-19th, 2026

How much?
$4600 plus your flight cost from your home location to Los Angeles and any food on travel days.
We encourage you to fundraise this cost. We will provide a template letter for you to send!
