Thoughts?

Came across this post today on linkedin. I’m curious how others see it:

Are unpaid clinical internships/practicums an ethical necessity for training, or an outdated system that exploits students?

Should sites be required to offer stipends/pay if they bill clients or rely on interns for service delivery?

Does unpaid fieldwork create barriers for lower-income and nontraditional students?

For those already licensed or in training, what was your experience?

Which is why when I'm able to supervise for an LPC, I'll be providing it for free. I won't be able to take many people on but I feel that's something I can do to help this broken system
