Hello! I am looking for two student interns that would like to help run mental health support groups for OSU-Cascades Health and Wellness! This opportunity is available for 10 hours per week, can count towards academic credit towards internships. Highly preferred would be students in our HDFS or MCOUN program. Mental Health Groups include the following:
ROX Girls Group: https://www.rulingourexperiences.com/ Students will be working in Bend/Lapine Schools providing a 20 week curriculum to 5th graders. There is a training I will complete for you, it will take an hour of prep and an hour to run the group each week. This is a great opportunity for students wanting to gain clinical skills and running a support group for students! This group is all about girl empowerment and will help teach students how to manage conflict, improve friendship issues, and feel confident in themselves.
OSU Cascades Peer Support Groups: Become a Certified Peer Support Educator! We would like students to help lead and run a mental health group for peers on campus. This is a weekly commitment. You will become trained to be a certified peer support educator. You can help organize, run, and help market this group for any student wanting increased connection and support. Work with other mental health facilitators and increase the mental health supports here on campus!
QPR Training: Learn how to become QPR certified to increase suicide awareness. The goal is to increase QPR trainers among OSU-Cascades faculty and students! Lead a QPR training for students on campus and help us all know what to do when a peer is in crisis.
Dinner Party: We want to increase connection and support to more students. The goal of this group will be for all students who are dealing with grief, have complicated family relationships or might feel alone during the holiday season. You can help organize, set up, and host a dinner party for all students who need some connection and support before Thanksgiving break. This will be catered by OSU-Cascades.
Weekly supervision and training on evidence based mental health interventions! I’m a therapist with 21 years’ experience working in private practice, schools, and hospitals. In addition to your group work, I’m happy to meet with you weekly to provide consultation, training, and support!
