Are you fascinated by the human psyche? Are you compassionate about life and believe in bringing positive changes to the lives of the people around you or are you simply looking to see if a career in psychology is the one for you?

Join the Masambeni Psychology internship in Cape Town that connects you with an extensive list of companies and organisations working to change lives in Cape Town. The goal of this learnership is to investigate the cause of certain behaviours and try to establish a scientific treatment to deal with any abnormality.

With its history of Apartheid, South Africa has large numbers of poverty-stricken communities and deep scars to heal. Violence, substance abuse and trauma are common in most of these communities. As a Psychology intern who wants to have first-hand exposure and add meaning to the lives of victims, you should consider doing an internship in Cape Town. Masambeni works with high profile organizations that have a strong scientific tradition and infrastructure with which to develop and innovate new solutions in the field of psychology. The program embraces a scientist-practitioner model in which theory and evidence embrace professional practice.

Interns are offered an opportunity to be part of some ground-breaking work. Under the supervision of the appropriately credentialed individual, the intern will be an active part of a multidisciplinary team. They provide intensive outpatient services in a structured therapeutic milieu for children and adolescents who present with a wide range of significant behavioural health needs. Interns will have time to pursue scholar activity that centre in their field of study, research, program evaluation, clinical care or education.

You may assist sports psychologists who are involved in helping coaches, work with the team and build their motivation, in athlete mental training, in counselling and more. Regardless of your interest in the psychology field, Masambeni will place you in an ideal organization for you to gain relevant experience before graduation.
