I had such an amazing time working in Sri Lanka with SLV. At the risk of sounding cliche, my experiences were life changing, from all angles, educational, personal and professional. Although the placement was extremely challenging at times, this made it what it was; and it gave me the opportunity to experience Psychology from an entirely different perspective and from a different culture too. I enjoyed every aspect of the placement, whether that was working on the wards at NIMH or teaching English in the Youth Centre. Everything contributed towards a future career in Psychology. The staff at SLV are fantastic! From the team in the London office before you depart, to the team in the SL office, the field staff, supervisors and project managers. You are supported every step of the way and given advice and guidance when you need it. Overall I loved my time with SLV. It had provided me with experience necessary to find a job in England but also taught me what a beautiful, welcoming country Sri Lanka is. I would recommend all Psychology graduates to apply for a role with SLV it is the opportunity of a lifetime!
