Hello friends of Strong Minds Strong Kids, Psychology Canada and The Psychology Foundation of Canada,
We trust you had a nice summer. We have several award and internship opportunities for you to share with your students, network of school psychologists, agencies or other post secondary institutions. Please see below the opportunities.
The Judy Hills Internship Award: Opportunity for third-year undergraduate students, majoring in psychology
The Judy Hills Internship Award is being designed for third-year undergraduate students, majoring in psychology. Judy Hills led The Psychology Foundation of Canada (now also known as Strong Minds Strong Kids, Psychology Canada) for over 12 years and retired in 2018. She started her career as a teacher and then moved to the charitable sector where her expertise in education met with her passion for community driven opportunities. Throughout her leadership with The Psychology Foundation of Canada (PFC), Judy was instrumental in leveraging the benefits of psychology to better Canadians and in particular children and youth through the development and delivery of many evidence-based programs and resources that are still around today. Programs such as Parenting for Life, Kids Have Stress Too! and Stress Lessons are a result of Judy’s work with PFC expert volunteers. During her tenure, she also experienced first-hand the desire and dedication of many leading Psychologists throughout Canada to support and promote mental health. It is with this in mind that Judy wants to support future Psychologists and ensure that this devotion and commitment to the promotion of mental well-being remains at the forefront. RFA here and deadline for Fall is September 18, 2023.
Dr. Bea Wickett Award: Opportunity for Psychologists (Elementary, Secondary, Post Secondary), Agency or Post Secondary Institution. One award available and up to $9,000 can be awarded.
Dr. Bea Wickett would be pleased to know that her work to advance education by developing and providing programs to enhance self-esteem, address emotional needs and stresses and provide confidence-building skills can be made possible and is her gift to promoting mental health in elementary and secondary school systems. This award recognizes a program and/or evaluation of a program that will be offered within elementary or secondary school settings to promote well-being, foster resilience, and identify the early indicators of mental health problems and prevent the onset of mental illness.
