Who Can Benefit from 7cups Internship?
Active Listening is a skill that anyone and everyone can benefit from. It is also a great opportunity if you are looking to commit more time to 7cups as a listener and get involved in various areas of this community with the aim of being helpful and supportive of others among us. The internship is primarily addressed to any student enrolled in a Social and Human Services program where a certain number of field placement or practicum hours are required to complete a certificate/degree can participate:
* Undergraduate programs in Health & Human Services, Psychology
* Graduate programs in Counseling, Clinical Psychology, Master of Social Work
* Ph.D. & Psy.D. programs
Students who bring their life experience, academic skills, genuine passion for helping those in need and who also have aspirations of working in the behavioral health field, will likely find this work very rewarding.
While this program is geared towards students, anyone with an enthusiasm to help others while learning about mental health is welcome to register. The internship certificate will add great value to any resume for a job or college application. For more info on the internship program, click HERE

I have been reading the benefits, and kinda of "wanting or hoping to reap the benefits (in red bold)" but i am very worried, scared that I might not be able to perform the role well. Looking at my current mental and physical state of health. Yet i kept thinking of trying...
I dont really have any experience and time to time, i often stick to the member account instead of switching to listener account. Any advise or recommendations? Or better to work on myself first?
Hi @mikenai22
Thank you for your interest. The Internship is around all year round. It is important to wait for a time where you have enough energy and time to dedicate to the Internship. It may help to interact with current interns to see what their experience has been. You can do so by logging into your listener account and clicking on this link. It will lead you to the Internship sub-community (It is listener only)

Hi Hope, I appreciate your thoughts and concerns. Thank you.
You might be right to hold on until the right time. Nevertheless my listener account seem to be having issue. Its constantly stuck in the below URL with a "Training" Loading page.

Perhaps I should work on myself first, which has been a long struggle.
The instruction video has been removed, how can we access that?
@Hope i dont understand what i do to complete the 2 member group support chats
