Welcome to our summer interns

The second ever Summer Intern Program began on Wednesday 1st of February where we welcomed four young people to undertake a four-week (three days per week) placement at Orygen.

The Summer Intern Program is an exciting opportunity for four young people aged 17 – 25 years to gain experience and exposure to research teams, key policy and advocacy staff, clinical specialists and workforce trainers who all have extensive experience working in the field of youth mental health.

This structured program aims to increase young people’s knowledge and understanding of the youth mental health sector in Australia, with an emphasis on workforce development, research, policy and communications. Young people have the opportunity to lead their own project to present at the Friday Research Presentation at the end of the program.
