Company Profile
SLV.Global
Company Overview
We provide students from around the world the opportunity to gain valuable, practical psychology work experience in the mental health sector whilst being immersed in a unique and exciting culture. Our mental health placements and opportunities have been carefully and ethically developed in partnership with local organisations in each country to ensure our programs have a lasting, positive impact on mental health within local communities.
Company History
In 2010 a group of recent psychology graduates, led by Lucy Nightingale, made the decision to put their degrees to good use and journeyed to Sri Lanka, where the resources for those living with mental illness were scarce. Equipped with experience and optimism, these intrepid adventurers joined forces with the incredibly insightful and dedicated Sri Lankan youth worker, Yasintha, and together they founded SLV.Global and our Mental Health Placements were born.
Recently we've extended our reach to include Bali. Our aim is to continue to focus on global mental health by providing volunteers the chance to gain much desired psychology work experience in various communities that need extra support. Volunteers on all of our placements have the opportunity to learn from local professionals to increase their knowledge and enhance their skill sets whilst being immersed in cultures as warm and exciting as the countries themselves.
