The office of the mental health coordinator (MHC) works with refugees and refugee communities throughout Louisville to ensure access to community mental health resources for ongoing care. Depending on the intern’s previous experience in mental health (MH) services, interns may assist with coordinating MH services for new clients, accompany clients to appointments (currently TBD due to COVID-19), and working with clients to manage daily living obstacles. Interns may also assist the MHC with facilitating community wellness groups and activities. Advanced-level interns may provide individual or family therapy. Reports to Mental Health Coordinator. Available hours per week: 8-10.
Interns typically work for a semester or summer/winter term; applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
