Community Service Projects
MSPP C.A.R.E. (Communities Assisting Relief Efforts)Although it has been more than 4.5 years since the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, many communities throughout the Gulf Coast are continuing to rebuild and recover. MSPP CARE (Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology: Communities Assisting Relief Efforts) is a student-initiated group with a commitment to civic outreach and community service. For the past 3 years MSPP CARE has traveled to the heart of New Orleans, LA to join ongoing community building and relief efforts. For the first 2 weeks of 2010, 13 students from the counseling, forensic, school psychology, and psychology doctorate programs engaged in transformative volunteerism, serving with some of the following organizations:
While MSPP CARE’s primary mission has been to provide aid and outreach to individuals and communities in need, members have found these immersion ventures to be personally and professionally enriching. These service-learning opportunities enhance students’ skills, allowing them to better meet the need and make a difference. Inevitably, with each trip students are moved by the strength, hope, courage and honesty of New Orleans residents, and feel that this experience enables them to become better future mental health professionals.
