Perfect therapy for people who need help. I would like to say, I never can imagine it could be possible to heal people like that

Yes!! High school students are welcome to participate in the internship program designed for college students. Here is the link to learn more about the internship program!! https://www.7cups.com/communities/internships/
I'd look into volunteering at your locl mental health clinic. Alot of these places are underfunded and in desperate need of volunteers that can perform simple tasks. You get to experience what goes into mental health care and the reality that alot of your patients live through every day.

Yes. 7 Cups of Tea is a great place for students to serve as non-paid interns and in turn receive credit for their academic programs.

7 Cups of Tea DOES have an internship program! Although it is not explicitly for sychology students or high school students, it is a great step for anyone who wants to be involved.The internship can be found on the website and you need to register for it. While it is fairly involved, I am sure it can be a rewarding experience!

7Cups offers a wonderful opportunity to learn how to help others in a professional and supportive way. While the experience may not match that of a traditional internship, the training and real-world situations likely exceed that of many internships. There is no substitute for real experience helping real individuals in need.

According to https://www.7cups.com/communities/internships/ the answer is "Yes, we welcome 16-19 year olds to register for this internship. Teens can gain volunteer hours for school projects and other assignments by listening and providing support on 7 Cups. The internship certificate will mention the hours spent listening on one on one chats."

You can always go to Psychology.com or you can browse through some of our active listeners and ask their opinions.
Google and youtube is the best option. You can follow some Psychological internship sites through online.

Try a university or college near you. Large therapy offices or mental institutes may also be a possibility. Small or private offices are not likely to be of help. It can be difficult to find internships in this field and other theraputical fields because of the patient confidentiality and the personal aspects that go into treatment, but you should be able to find something of interest :)

Yes they should as people may have their own experiences that may be able to help youth. We should help.
There is actually an internship program on here for high schoolers!! I personally did it myself and I absolutely loved every moment of it! It's really enjoyable and doesn't feel like too much work. You would be paired with a Mentor who will help you out and work on your plan. Totally worth it and I recommend it!! (I might be "overselling" it because I'm one of the Mentors, but seriously. Please give it a try!!

Try looking at different companys or hospitals they usually take in young people to train. Also do some research on local places
A number of opportunities are available for both undergraduate and high school psychology students to get hands-on learning and valuable research experiences in the science of psychology over summer breaks. Many of these programs have application deadlines soon approaching, so I encourage you to take a look now. Google: American Psychological Association and apply there. Best wishes. - Nate
Many interns are needed in this field. Some of the top cities for internships include Irvine, CA, Los Angeles, CA, Nashville, TN, Oakland, CA, Orlando, FL, and Portland, OR. :)
Many local rehabilitation programs have resident consular internships at transitional houses for students.
ive herd that you can sometimes intern at local crisis centers although ive never done it myself maybe check at some therapist offices

Why not get in touch with an institute that offers psychiatric services and find out for yourself. /
Go to http://www.internships.com/psychology and choose your state or write your state/city and choose whichever one pleases you.

Any job where a person works with the public is a wonderful internship for psychology. There is no better way to learn about human nature than to work with people on a regular basis.
I believe 7 Cups offers internships for teens, you can also look online and I"m sure you'll find many others!

You can find psychology internships on these websites: www.internships.com & www.volunteermatch.org
There are several educational websites I'm sure that offer this information. I don't know of any off of the top of my head. Also school counselors are a good resource.
7 Cups has an internship available for students aged 16 to 19! Interns commit to listening a certain number of hours per week for at least 8 weeks. You can find out more on their website. You will need your own faculty advisor.
I am not sure on a specific school/university. But you can look it up online or research about it through others and from your current school and so on.
