The NAMI HelpLine Internship is a remote, unpaid opportunity for students currently enrolled in an academic program. Interns receive extensive training and mentorship while developing skills in active listening, empathy, resource referral, and mental health support. The program requires a commitment of approximately 8 hours per week for four months.
This event is especially valuable for psychology majors and any student interested in gaining hands-on experience in mental health support, developing helping skills, and exploring careers in psychology, counseling, social work, healthcare, and related fields.
