Position Title:
Unpaid Intern- Mental Health Counseling
Job Summary:
The internship program at Counseling and Peer Support (CAPS) at College of Lake County is a 10 month service delivery program for Masters-level mental health counseling interns in Illinois. This is an unpaid position. The intern will join the clinical staff at CAPS and conduct clinical services provided to CLC students, while accruing hours for meeting the academic demands of their program of origin. The intern will conduct all activities at CAPS under the supervision of a licensed mental health provider. The Director maintains adequate communication with the intern's program of origin for adequately supporting training needs.
Job Description:
The intern is expected to work in person at the clinic on the College of Lake County's Grayslake Campus for a minimum of 16 hours a week and a maximum of 24 hours per week, with an option to conduct up to 4 hours remotely.

Clinical work may be temporarily recorded for the purposes of supervision using technology and equipment provided by CAPS. The intern can anticipate completing on average a minimum of 8 clinical hours a week, depending on level of readiness, and as agreed upon with the Director.

Overall, the extern should expect to receive supervision that will enhance their use of evidence-based treatments that respond to clients' needs.
