1 hr/week: Refugee Support Project: Spanish-speaking and French-speaking Clinicians & Therapists

After the start of the horrific war in Ukraine and acknowledging the ongoing migration crisis at the US borders, PPSC (Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center) mobilized to form the PPSC Refugee Support Project, a group of volunteers throughout the mental health and lay community, to provide crisis and support services to refugees, their families, and service providers impacted.

Currently, we are seeking bilingual Spanish-English or French-English therapists. Trauma-trained or trauma-informed therapists are especially encouraged to apply.

Volunteer therapists will offer 1 hour/week pro bono (some weeks you’ll be on standby) to help us staff incoming referrals. The work is short-term in nature (5 sessions, or longer-term work based on your preferences). Applicants must be licensed in the State of New York.

We ensure that Volunteers have access to translators, Humanitarian-based Clinical Support (Individual or group) led by trauma-trained therapists, in-house trainings offered pro bono by trauma-trained professionals in the field, and extensive resources to inform your Volunteerism.
