Although we’re a non-profit with a mission to help advocate for mental health awareness, prevention and treatment of Post TBI/CTE, and reducing stigma surrounding mental illness, our goal with this internship is to build the relevant skillsets for your dream career after you graduate. We want to provide you with real-life work experience that can put on your résumé, that will give you an edge in the job market, and that will give you a return on your investment for your degree. Along with this work experience, all apprentices who successfully complete their apprenticeship will gain access to the CPMHA alumni network by becoming national ambassadors, as well as gain national recognition through a feature on our podcast. If fortunate enough to be accepted, you will be sent a curriculum that we will work around your academic schedule. Broadly speaking, this curriculum will require that you attend a weekly zoom meeting, as well as report to a team leader who will change on a biweekly basis.
