Award and Internship Opportunities for Psychology Students
Hello friends of Strong Minds Strong Kids, Psychology Canada and The Psychology Foundation of Canada,
We are thrilled to share several award and internship opportunities that could greatly benefit your students, colleagues, and network of school psychologists, agencies, and post-secondary institutions. Please find the details of these opportunities below.
The Judy Hills Internship Award: Opportunity for third-year undergraduate students, majoring in psychology. Deadline for Fall submission Sept. 20, 2024.
The Judy Hills Internship Award is designed for third-year undergraduate students, majoring in psychology. Judy Hills led The Psychology Foundation of Canada (now also known as Strong Minds Strong Kids, Psychology Canada) for over 12 years and retired in 2018. During her tenure, she experienced first-hand the desire and dedication of many leading Psychologists throughout Canada to support and promote mental health. It is with this in mind that Judy wants to support future Psychologists and ensure that this devotion and commitment to the promotion of mental well-being remains at the forefront. This remote, paid internship allows upper-year psychology students to join the Strong Minds Strong Kids, Psychology Canada team, supporting the mental well-being of children and youth. The intern will assist in supporting and expanding psychology-based programs across Canadian communities, making a significant impact on young lives. The internship offers flexibility to accommodate academic schedules and requires a total of 100 hours over approximately three months. This unique internship runs during the Fall and Winter terms. RFA is here and deadline for Fall submission is September 20, 2024.
Dr. Bea Wickett Award: Opportunity for Psychologists (Elementary, Secondary, Post Secondary), Agency or Post Secondary Institution. One award available and up to $9,000 can be awarded. Deadline for submission December 31, 2024.
Dr. Bea Wickett would be pleased to know that her work to advance education by developing and providing programs to enhance self-esteem, address emotional needs and stresses, and build confidence can now be realized. Her efforts represent a significant contribution to promoting mental health in elementary and secondary school systems. This award recognizes a program and/or evaluation of a program that will be offered within elementary or secondary school settings to promote well-being, foster resilience, and identify the early indicators of mental health problems and prevent the onset of mental illness. Funding of up to $9,000 to support the project is available annually. RFA is here and deadline for submission is December 31, 2024.
Jean and Dick Pettifor Award: Call for student proposals. Up to $10,000 available to be awarded. Deadline for submission December 31, 2024.

The applicant (or in the case of joint submissions, the applicants) must be a student in a psychology program at a Canadian University, and an affiliate member of the Canadian Psychological Association or a provincial psychological association. Funding of up to $10,000 is available annually. The excellence of the proposal will be the primary criterion in making awards. Documentation of submission to the applicant's institutional research ethics board (REB) must accompany every submission. Applicants may submit only one application per year.

Masters of Psychotherapy and Spirituality program (Counselling and Art Therapy streams)
The Master of Psychotherapy and Spirituality (MPS) program is an academic, professional degree that develops spiritually-informed counselors, psychotherapists, and art therapists who are well grounded in the integration of psychological and spiritual knowledge as a holistic foundation for effective therapeutic practice. The MPS degree has been developed in response to an expressed need for formal graduate counselling training that integrates psychology and spirituality.
Prior to 2023, the program could be taken as either a 54-credit Counselling (or Core) stream, or a 66-credit Art Therapy stream. Beginning with 2023 intake, it is expected that both the Counseling and Art Therapy streams will be equally valued at 60 credits.
As with all St. Stephen's programs, the MPS is openly accessible to people from any faith tradition or worldview. The program is offered through a blend of online and in-person courses, and can easily be taken from a distance while residing in Canada.
There will be a free information session held on January 18 at 9 AM MST. Please click here to sign up.
Applications for the 2023 intake are due February 1, 2023. Please visit uab.ca/mps or contact [email protected] for more information.

Professional Development Opportunities
Volunteer Opportunities
The VSN runs about an 80 person volunteer program, which provides 24/7 services and support to victims and survivors of crime and tragic circumstances throughout the Niagara Region. Our volunteers dedicate a minimum of two 12 hour shifts a month. While on call for their shift, they may be dispatched on-scene with a partner or asked to provide telephone support to victims. Volunteers may have the chance to work side by side with police and other community agencies such as CARSA or SADV unit.
We are looking to do a new volunteer training class beginning in January and running until April (I have attached all important dates). We are looking for individuals (age 21+) to think about applying to our volunteer position. These volunteers would be trained in the areas of crisis intervention and the ethics of helping, communication, domestic violence, sexual assault, safety planning, sudden death (including suicide and homicide), elder abuse, property crimes, multi-casualty occurrences, as well as the importance of self-care and debriefing.
