BRBH Internships
Our Opportunities
We offer internship and practicum opportunities for students enrolled in approved college-level programs. BRBH internships allow interns to take part in supporting individuals and families living with mental illness, substance use disorders, developmental disabilities, or a combination of needs.
Before starting, all interns must complete required background checks, which may include fingerprinting and drug testing.
Summer internship applications close each year at the end of February. Fall internship applications close each year at the end of June. Spring internship applications close each year at the end of October.
