At Princeton House Behavioral Health, we offer practicum opportunities for students based on the availability of supervision and the best fit between the student and the program. The majority of our treatment is provided in a group format, although there may be some opportunities to participate in individual and family sessions as well.

Types of internships available:

  • Social work
