Students in Forensic Mental Health
Mission Statement
The IAFMHS Student Section provides students in the broad areas of forensic mental health a platform for collaboration and intellectual exchange with other students internationally. Furthermore, we hope to create or facilitate opportunities for support, education, training, and knowledge exchange towards the development of forensic mental health services globally for our student members. We also aim to provide students with other relevant information that may be of particular interest to students in this field such as: graduate programs, funding sources, teaching, research, clinical training opportunities (i.e. workshops, internship, practica) and other resources.
Target group
This group is targeted towards students studying in any field related to the provision of forensic mental health services. This could include, but is not limited to, students studying: psychology, social work, psychiatric nursing, medicine, law, criminology, occupational therapy, etc. We welcome students of all levels from Undergraduate students to PHD students. All are encouraged to join!
Objectives
