Why the Program?

1. Internship/Practicum Placement:

Benefit: CAfRIC will organize guaranteed internship/practicum placements, saving students the time and stress of searching for suitable opportunities.

2. Personal Therapy Sessions:

Pain Point: After graduation, many counselors and psychologists are required to undergo personal therapy, which can be expensive and difficult to access before licensing.
Benefit: This program covers the cost of personal therapy sessions, helping students heal and grow professionally before they are licensed.

3. Professional Supervision:

Pain Point: Finding professional supervision post-graduation can be challenging, and many counselors need it for development and licensing.
Benefit: CAfRIC provides professional supervision throughout the program, ensuring that students meet licensing requirements and continue to receive guidance.

4. Diverse Rotations Across Different Sites:

Pain Point: Students often only have access to one type of counseling experience, limiting their exposure to diverse cases.
Benefit: Participants will rotate through multiple sites, gaining hands-on experience in different settings and working with various populations for a well-rounded practicum.

5. One-Stop Shop:

Pain Point: Students have to manage multiple logistical aspects—finding internships/practicum, securing therapy, and seeking supervision—all while juggling academic responsibilities.
Benefit: CAfRIC streamlines the process into a single program, making it easier for students to focus on their professional growth without extra stress.

6. Affordable Cost:

Pain Point: The cost of personal therapy, supervision, and multiple practicum experiences can be overwhelming.
Benefit: All these services are provided at a cost of just 10,000, making it an affordable option for students.

7. Comprehensive Support:
