yr 12 work experience

I'm a year 12 student trying to look for work experience opportunities related to psychology but a lot of psychological related careers (like wards or therapies) aren't really offering for year 12 students. Is there any other psychology related work experiences possible?? (even better if it's related to clinical psychology:smile:

Got a parent who is a Psychiatrist and they told me, generally, its super hard getting psych related experiences, purely because its not very viable to have teens in those types of spaces. depending on what you want, go for work experiences that are to do with care (e.g. volunteering) or just anything to do with health/social care, (e.g. NHS volunteering program), really. its not expected of you to have actual psych experience when your a college student/6th former. Do remember, having work experience, no matter how unrelated, is better than none.
