Paid Internship for Entry into the Behavioral Health Field
3 weeks ago
Have you or a close family member struggled with a mental illness? Would you like to use your experience to support others in their recovery journeys? The Workforce Investment Grant seeks to increase peer representation in the Behavioral Health workforce. A peer is an individual who has experienced a mental health challenge, or who is a parent or close family member of someone who has experienced a mental health challenge. A mental health challenge covers a broad range of categories, including alcohol and substance use disorder (SUD), depression, anxiety, and many other conditions that can impact a person’s wellbeing.
This program offers paid internships directly in the behavioral health field to prepare interns for a successful career in behavioral health by providing them with practical skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience in a variety of social service settings. Learn what it means to use your lived experience to help others through their recovery journeys, expand your knowledge of what it means to be a peer through the Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist training, and connect with others who have also experienced moving through the world while navigating the mental health sector.
