Earn credit in Abnormal Psychology (CLP 2140) this summer while studying in Belize!

Hi, I am Sara Brzezinski, and I am one of the faculty members who will be leading an interdisciplinary trip to Belize, with a side trip to Guatemala, this summer.  Our program includes a variety of different activities and adventures.  Dr. Jim Wallis will be offering Tropical Ecology as the second course you can choose to take.  We have an amazing program with once of a lifetime opportunities planned for you!

For my class, you will have various activities that will allow you to observe and experience the practices surrounding mental health and examine how these compare the to practices in the United States.  We will have the opportunity to visit a special education school, meet with professionals from the Mental Health Association of Belize, visit the Resource Center in Belize City to learn about their work with the homeless population and prepare lunch for their patrons, meet with personnel from the Mental Health Unit from the Ministry of Health, visit a government run inpatient facility, visit the University of Belize and attend a special talk on mental health in Belize, and visit an elder care facility.  The opportunities you will have to get a glimpse into the field of mental health are unlike any your classmates and colleagues at SPC and other institutions will experience.  Many individuals in graduate programs do not even have access to these types of experiences.  If you are planning on going into the field of psychology, medicine, social work, public health, etc., this is an excellent program for you!
