The CAC is currently interviewing for 4 internship spots with their family advocacy program.
The Children’s Advocacy Center serving Bastrop, Lee, and Fayette counties works to provide the best opportunities for our interns. Our internship program caters to various undergraduate degrees such as criminal justice, psychology, social work, child/family development, sociology, and applied sociology and Masters degrees in social work and professional counseling. Family Advocate intern’s tasks entails a variety of learning opportunities such as working with caretakers and families during crisis during forensic interviews, case management, providing and helping families locate resources, groups (therapeutic, parenting, coping skills and more), and working closely with our multidisciplinary teams such as law enforcement and child protective services for better wrap around services.
Professional counseling and social work students have weekly supervision with our on staff LPC-S and LMSW. All family advocate interns are also engaged in weekly supervision with their task supervisor and also in mid and final semester reviews. We ask that interns spend a minimum of 16 hours a week at the CAC. Internships are completed per semester, are available spring, summer, and fall semesters and the amount of semesters and hours completed with the CAC are catered to each individual’s needs.
