Organization Name

Susquehanna Valley Community Mental Health Services

Fellowship Project

I engaged in a 1-month Spanish for Mental Health Professionals immersion program, so that I can provide therapy in Spanish. I also went on a 3-day backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Organization Affiliation During Your Fellowship Year

Susquehanna Valley Community Mental Health Services

greatest impact of your fellowship year

I was able to get a taste of what it is like to enter a new country, not really speak the language, and be treated with impatience and racism.

Why would you recommend the York federal fellows program?

The entire program was incredibly valuable. I had some life-changing experiences, and the group meetings were incredibly helpful and informative. Getting to know my cohort was also a wonderful experience.
