About the Internship

As an intern at the Mental Health Association, you’ll be doing a variety of jobs and tasks. This could include:

• Facilitating weekly drop-in (currently Wednesdays from 12pm-3pm) which entails creating a welcoming and safe space for all participants who enter, facilitating conversation and activities to engage participants, and set up and clean up of the drop-in space.

• Visiting Cayuga Medical’s Adult Behavior Services Unit to present informational groups for patients there (Thursdays 3:15pm-4pm).

• Administrative duties such as answering phones, data entry, data organization, and helping put together materials for intake procedures or specific events.

• Shadowing weekly support/activity groups either in person or over zoom. You can take a look at what groups are currently being run on the front page of the website.

• Helping out with events outside of business hours. This can look like running registration check ins or helping to set up and takedown event set ups.

• Depending on your interests and availability, you could even start your own group! (This could be an art/craft group, a movie group, etc.)
