MSW Practicum Opportunity
Bonafide Therapeutic Alliance is exploring a practicum opportunity for an MSW student interested in gaining real-world experience in a private mental health practice.
This isn't simply an office-assistant position. The goal is to give an MSW student exposure to the clinical, administrative, organizational, and community sides of running a mental health practice.
Depending on the student's interests and MSW program requirements, responsibilities may include:
• Responding to calls, texts, and emails from prospective clients
• Assisting with scheduling and client communication
• Learning the intake and referral process
• Connecting clients with appropriate community resources
• Researching local agencies and organizations
• Conducting outreach to potential referral sources
• Developing professional referral relationships based on our therapists' specific specialties
• Building and maintaining community referral networks
• Managing social media and online listings
• Assisting with marketing and community outreach
• Developing mental health education and content
• Assisting with practice projects, policies, and procedures
• Tracking and evaluating outreach and engagement efforts
• Participating in staff meetings and practice discussions
• Other projects designed around the student's MSW learning objectives
The student would have the opportunity to develop skills in professional communication, client engagement, community outreach, resource development, organizational practice, ethical decision-making, research/evaluation, and improving access to appropriate mental health services.
Practicum responsibilities would be coordinated with the student's MSW program and learning agreement.
