Family Houston’s mission to help others really caught my eye when applying for internships. In my previous job experiences, I would struggle with overthinking and being too afraid to ask for help. But my Family Houston supervisor was very clear with her instructions and made me feel comfortable asking questions. Not only was she patient with me, but provided constructive feedback that helped me grow. I feel that this internship has prepared me to be more organized, efficient, open-minded, and attentive in my future opportunities. I would highly recommend this internship program to prospective students.  I would let them know that the working environment is positive, understanding, and very educational.

I selected Family Houston as my internship site because of the atmosphere of the agency and the importance they had of being able to give back to our communities. A challenge I overcame through my internship was working as a solo clinician, especially coming from a program where being in a group or team setting was heavily ingrained. I had awesome, fellow clinicians and a supervisor who helped me out a lot on my journey. The experience I received at Family Houston definitely helped shape me more into the clinician that I had envisioned to be and I hope to put it more into fruition as I continue my career. Thank you so much for the opportunity, Family Houston!

My experience as a Family Houston intern has prepared me to be able to work in an unfamiliar environment and still be able to thrive. It took some time working on projects with platforms like WordPress, Adobe Photoshop, and InDesign, before I became more knowledgeable. I learned that I can take on any task as long as I am able to ask questions. My supervisor was extremely helpful by easing me into these programs with small projects at first as well as providing articles and video tutorials on how to use all the various tools efficiently as a new user. I would tell someone considering an internship with Family Houston to go for it and try to gain as much experience as possible in whatever time you have. Most importantly I would tell them to not be afraid to ask questions!
