What to Expect During Your Internship
Your internship will be tailored to meet your education level, skill proficiencies, clinical interests, and needs as a student. You will be expected to work directly with behavioral health consumers, applying the knowledge you have learned in your classes while developing your abilities as a practitioner.
Interns typically begin by learning how to deliver life skills training to consumers, under the supervision of an experienced Cummins care provider. This curriculum will familiarize you with the foundational nature of life skills work while helping you learn essential client engagement techniques.
You may have the opportunity during your internship to work with consumers independently and manage your own caseload. This can help to prepare you for the real-world demands of a career as a mental health practitioner.
Multiple Program Tracks
Cummins offers several unique internship tracks, including:
- School-Based Programs: Develop skills for working with youth in an educational setting and collaborating with school administrators.
- Outpatient Programs: Gain experience working with adults, youth, and groups in an office setting with an on-site support team.
- Substance Use Disorder Programs: Work alongside addiction specialists to provide recovery-focused interventions for individuals with substance use challenges.
However you would like to focus your internship, we provide a dynamic and supportive learning environment to match your goals.
