"I knew EBAC was the place for me the minute I stepped in for my interview. My passion was seen by my interviewer and I was confident, that this is where I wanted to learn and grow, personally and professionally. I'm so grateful that EBAC was accepting trainees when I first started, and even more grateful that they continued to keep me on. As a trainee, I was overwhelmed with the thought of saying goodbye to such passionate and talented clinicians. The work is hard, yes; however, it's also the most rewarding thing I do on a daily basis. I see a child smile. I catch them making better choices at school. I hear a parent say, "Oh so that's what trauma is." The breath of relief, a tear down the cheek, a smile or a grin, these little but meaningful actions keep me coming back, every day. EBAC has shaped me to give my 101% in every way I can, not only to the children and families, but to myself. Training at EBAC requires resiliency, strength, cooperation, and flexibility, and if you consider these to be weaknesses, EBAC will help you make them your powers.

"California State East Bay MFT My traineeship at EBAC was an amazing opportunity filled with an enormous amount of experiences. I received a great deal of support from the supervisors and employees, guiding me each step of the way. I learned so much about what the job entailed, showing me what would be expected of me in the field. I went to various trainings weekly around trauma, child therapy, self-care, mindfulness and how to work with certain ethnic groups. Most importantly, I learned medi-Cal billing, CANS assessment tool and treatment planning - something that my school did not offer. My traineeship was extensive and required a lot of out of me, but I wouldn't trade it for any other experience! "Daniella

"During my time with EBAC, I was fortunate in my placement at San Leandro High School. I felt supported and pushed to grow as a clinician and learn how to navigate clinical skills, documentation, and care coordination with my colleagues. What I treasure most from my time at EBAC is their commitment to trauma-informed practices and diversity and inclusion through their many ongoing trainings. Also, interning at a school that shows such strong values in social justice continues to inspire my work today. I'm so grateful for that opportunity, and I will take this experience with me at every internship and career in the future. Thanks for everything! "Robyn Smith College MSW
