In December 2023, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was executed to establish a Trainee Psychologist Program in collaboration with the Institute of Professional Psychology at Bahria University. This initiative involves final-year clinical psychology students and aims to provide them with a comprehensive 5-month training program. Mental health experts from both universities and Taskeen have worked together to develop the program, which includes practical experience and professional development opportunities. The training encompasses online/telephonic mental health sessions, offering hands-on experience and supervision. Trainee psychologists will connect with Taskeen’s beneficiaries, providing basic mental health consultancy and, when necessary, referring them to Taskeen psychologists for further psychotherapeutic support.
