I just spoke to my VA Case Manager Karen Iseral and she informed me that I have an option to do my theppy at the VA with an intern so that Can discuss the Abuse Issues:
Sexual Abuse Verbal Abuse Emotional Abuse Abandonment Issues Mental Health Abuse of a disabled person These are just some or the Issues I have there are more concerning Men I was raped by 3 men after try gave me a date rape drug a female gave it to me in a drink and I thought we were going to be together but they raped me then I was Raped by 2 other men. Last year Floyd one of my roommates at the VOA homeless veterans housing program assaulted me and I called the police when they got there he said he didn't do anything and they belived him, so I got mad and threw a bible at him I had top do 30 days in the county Jail here then when I got out I had no place to go so I went to the salvation Army in Ocala, fl for 3 months God bless those people saved my life I would like to take drive back just to say thank you and wish them well maybe donate some old clothes. I want to be on the other side of this and not be stuck I know if I think positive thoughts I will attract more of a positive person and that what I need in my life someone who enjoys life I was given a 2nd chance when I had brain tumor surgery I could have died and the risk was explained to me but if they didn't do the surgery I would have for sure.

My former T did his internship at a VA hospital and I would recommend him to anyone. They are extremely selective in who they choose for those internships and I'm sure you will get good care. My experience with interns is that they are still passionate about what they do, not nearly as jaded and clinical as Ts can get when they've been at it for decades. The youngsters have different ways of approaching things that can really work well where others have failed. That's been my experience, anyway.
Good luck in whatever you decide. CB |

They have to go through APPIC http://www.appic.org/ and submit paperwork found there so I'm sure they're as qualified as any interns. The VA is known for its "good" internship program (good from the standpoint of interns) so I'm sure they're the best/selective as candybear says.

I agree with the others, the selection process is tough for VA internships, and the training opportunities are excellent.
