Hi friends and family! Starting this summer I embark to Bali, Indonesia on a mental health placement. I will be volunteering with SLV.Global, an international volunteering organization that focuses on global mental health and benefiting communities in need of support. During my time in Bali, I will be working closely with the local community by spending part of my time in a psychiatric facility. The main goal during my time there is to improve quality of life, increase self-esteem, and help develop important skills- such as cognitive, motor, and communication- to the individuals I have the opportunity to interact with. In addition to this, I will gain highly valuable psychology work experience through interacting and communicating with local psychiatrists as well as attending educational workshops and cultural training. All of this will benefit me as I plan to apply to graduate school for psychology. I am beyond grateful to have the opportunity to pursue my two greatest passions: helping those in need and travel. Anything to help fund this experience is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
