CHIU Yun-Hui

Addiction Prevention and Mental Health Internship

During this internship, I gained practical experience in client interviews, suicide reporting, and follow-up assessments. I learned to conduct open-ended questions, build rapport, and document professional records accurately. Initially, I struggled with nervousness and missed details, but through preparation and supervisor guidance, I improved my interview skills and became confident in handling phone and in-person sessions.

I also participated in professional training on substance addiction, trauma-informed care, and mental health, while engaging in outreach, presentations, home visits, and group activities. These experiences strengthened my ability to assess situations, ensure safety, and interact sensitively with clients, helping me develop a solid professional foundation.
