MHY Family Services

Residential Advisor Intern

May 2020 • Mars, PA

What I liked

It was a very humbling experience, and for that, I'm very grateful. I learned more about mental health in my few months as an intern, than I did over the past four years in a classroom. The kids I got to work with opened my eyes to so much, and it truly instilled a more appreciative perspective I have towards my own life. I enjoyed feeling like the work I was doing was meaningful and actually making an impact.

What I wish was different

As an intern, I feel as if my shifts should've looked different than regular employees; however, they did not. I wish the amount I worked was different. I spent over 400+ hours at MHY this summer, so by the end of my summer experience, I was very drained mentally and emotionally. I also wish it was a bit more of a supportive environment. I didn't feel like I was about to establish a deep-rooted relationship with any of my co-workers.

Advice

Don't go into this job thinking that YOU are going to change someone's life.
