In keeping with RAMS commitment to community involvement, training, and “growing our own” mental health professionals, RAMS has started the Summer Bridge program, an eight-week summer mentoring program for people ages 16 to 20, currently enrolled in or recently graduated from SFUSD high schools. This summer program provides participating students with classroom learning, field trips to various providers and agencies, guest speakers, and networking opportunities with future schools and potential employers. The purpose of this program is to promote awareness of psychological well-being and foster interest in the helping professions (social worker, counselor, psychologist, therapist, etc.).
This program started on June 14, and will go through August 6, 2010. We are now halfway through the program, so far it’s been a blast!
Big smile for the Group Shot!
