Abstract

This report provides a comprehensive account of a thirteen week, full time counselling internship completed from April 30, 1990 to July 27, 1990 at the Dr. Thomas Anderson Centre, St. John's, Newfoundland. -- The report encompasses two areas: -- 1. A statement of the internship rationale and objectives, a description of the internship setting and activities that were undertaken to fulfill the objectives. Details of the intern supervision and evaluation procedures used are also described. -- 2. A thorough literature review and report on the career education needs of teenage mothers. A proposed programme to meet those needs in rural areas of Newfoundland is described as well. -- The internship setting at the Dr. Thomas Anderson Centre v/as considered appropriate by the intern and her supervisors because a) supervision could be on-going and extensive and b) the multi-disciplinary staff could provide an opportunity for experience in a variety of child and adolescent counselling services c) the setting would provide experiences related to an area in which the intern eventually hoped to be employed.
