Description of the practicum site and student activities:

Psychotherapy-focused practicum in a community health and sexual health centre. Student therapist will provide psychotherapy and light case management supports to youth (ages 13-29) in the GTA. Majority of the youth accessing this centre identify as 2SLGBTQ and many are racialized. Preference for a placement student who identifies within the 2SLGBTQ community and strong preference for a student who is also a Black, Indigenous and/or Person of Colour.

Planned Parenthood Toronto is a youth-driven, anti-racist, culturally-responsive community health centre that advances reproductive justice, health and well-being for young people through primary, sexual, and mental health care, community programs, research, and advocacy.
