Navigating Leadership Program
Our Navigating Leadership Program (NLP) equips our colleagues in leadership roles with the skills, strategies, and tools to rise to their leadership responsibilities and effectively guide their teams. Through the NLP our leaders develop their own leadership style to meet the distinct challenges of leading their teams. Skills are developed that serve and shape team culture to maximize talent and elevate team performance, with a foundation in effective communication, thoughtful collaboration, and psychological safety.
No matter where our colleagues may be on their leadership journey, we support our team members to learn, grow, and thrive.

Internships
Turning Point Community Programs (TPCP) has the privilege of serving more than 100 student interns each school year who require field work or practicum placements. We have partnered with more than 130 different universities throughout the United States. We have placement opportunities in more than 50 programs with sites in several Northern California counties, serving members from early childhood through adulthood. What sets TPCP apart is the richness of the diversity of experiences in environments where the tone is of hope, optimism, and enthusiasm as each intern/trainee moves toward their learning goals.
TPCP’s goal is to structure an internship/trainee program that is exemplary, well-organized, and a comprehensive experience for interns/trainees. Each site structures an internship/trainee experience to best meet the needs of the interns/trainees via a tailored description of their program and the service recipients’ service provision.
Our hope is that through offering these internship opportunities, more mental health professionals will bring enthusiasm and a belief that “a diagnosis is not a destiny” to their work with those experiencing psychiatric disabilities.
To request placement, please email DeborahRoberts@TPCP.org
