About Us
We are an interdisciplinary team developing a digital mental health platform specifically for the MENA region (focus: Palestine). Our goal is to make culturally relevant, evidence-based psychological content accessible to people in conflict zones – in the form of an app that is low- threshold, effective, and trustworthy. We are also offering online psychological sessions for Arabic-speaking individuals in crisis regions (focus: Palestine) and giving online workshops at a university in Gaza.
What is the internship about?
You will support us in the development and implementation of digital therapy formats – from content creation to project coordination. You will work closely with experienced psychologists in Germany and the MENA region, content designers, and the tech team.
Your tasks
• Contributing to psychoeducational content, self-help tools, and reflection exercises
• Translating scientific concepts into accessible, everyday digital formats (e.g., text, audio, app modules)
• Supporting project management and interdisciplinary collaboration (e.g., editorial planning, timelines, testing)
• Assisting with quality assurance and user-centered development (analyzing user feedback, contributing ideas, further development)
Your profile
• Current Bachelor's or Master's student in Psychology (at least 3rd semester)
• Interest in digital mental health and social impact
• Excellent English and Arabic skills (German is a plus but not required)
• Ability to present scientific content in an understandable and empathetic way
• Independent, structured work style and enthusiasm for international collaboration
What to expect
• Insights into global digital psychological product development against the backdrop of conflict zones
• Active participation in an interdisciplinary team
• Flexible working hours and location-independent work
• Appreciative work culture with room for initiative
• Upon request: Letter of recommendation or academic supervision
