Based in Kampala, Uganda, the ThriveWell™ Child Protection & Trauma Recovery Internship offers a structured, supervised placement inside a governed child protection system.

Hosted by Rescue Mission for Street Life (RMFSL), this program is grounded in the principle of trauma recovery before reintegration. Interns are immersed in ThriveSpace™, a structured environment where vulnerable children rebuild safety, emotional regulation, and stability before transitioning into education, family reunification, or livelihood pathways.

Participants observe trauma-informed practices, structured play-based healing sessions, caregiver engagement frameworks, and reintegration planning processes. All engagement occurs under trained staff supervision and within safeguarding protocols. Interns do not work independently with children.

This placement is designed for students and professionals in social work, psychology, education, public health, and development studies seeking responsible, ethical experience within a community-rooted system.

Minimum commitment: 4–6 weeks.
