Psychology Passion Project
Hey everyone! I’m a junior in high school, and I aspire to be a child therapist in the future. I’m eager to kick off my own project related to psychology, but I’m not quite sure how to begin. If anyone has any tips or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

Share your favorite class from this year, and I’ll take a shot at guessing your GPA! P.S. This is getting quite popular, so I apologize in advance if I can’t respond to everyone.
That sounds like a fantastic passion project! Here are a few ideas to help you get started:
Research Projects: Consider conducting research on child psychology topics that interest you, such as the impact of play therapy, the importance of emotional intelligence in children, or how various parenting styles affect child development. You could write a report or create a presentation to share your findings.
Community Programs: Look for opportunities to volunteer at local organizations that work with children, such as schools, community centers, or mental health clinics. This hands-on experience could give you valuable insights into child therapy and enrich your understanding of the field.
Interviews/Surveys: Create a project that involves interviewing child therapists or conducting surveys with children/parents to understand their experiences and needs. This could provide useful data and help you develop empathy and communication skills.
Awareness Campaign: Consider starting a campaign to raise awareness about mental health issues in children. You could create informative posters, videos, or social media content to educate your peers about the importance of mental health in child development.
Workshops: Organize workshops or events focused on mental health practices for parents or caregivers. You could invite professionals to speak or lead activities that promote mental well-being in children.
Book Club: Start a book club centered on books about child psychology or mental health. This could help you and your peers learn together and discuss important topics.
Create a Blog or Vlog: Share your journey and insights through a blog or vlog. Discuss topics related to child therapy, interview professionals, or review books in the field. This can help you build a platform for your ideas and connect with others interested in psychology.
Remember, the most important part is to choose a project that excites you! Good luck, and enjoy the process of exploring your passion for psychology!
