    Can you a bit more specific about the work you'll be undertaking?

    Read 'Vision for Change' to get an overview of where the mental health services are heading, or meant to be. Read the Mental Health Act 2001. That'll be a start.

    Clients might be a more appropriate word than patients.

    Is it just me or is it totally inappropriate to be bringing a teenager to meetings with clients?

    It's difficult enough for undergraduates in psychology to get work experience...but at least they are better equipped to deal with/be around clients of mental health services..
