In December 2023, an Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed to establish a Trainee Psychologist Program through collaboration with the Institute of Clinical Psychology. This initiative involves final-year clinical psychology students and is designed to offer a comprehensive 5-month training program. Mental health experts from both universities and Taskeen collaborated to develop this program, which includes opportunities for practical experience and professional growth. The training encompasses online/telephonic mental health sessions, providing hands-on experience and supervision. Trainee psychologists will engage with Taskeen’s beneficiaries, offering fundamental mental health consultancy and, as needed, referring them to Taskeen psychologists for additional psychotherapeutic assistance.
