Various locations

Are you a student interested in hands-on experience in the behavioral health treatment field? Are you enrolled in a degree program in behavioral science, psychology, nursing, or a related field? BCCS has internship opportunities that will give you the chance to observe and participate in your area of interest:

• Behavioral Health Treatment: Brandywine’s treatment programs address mental health and drug addiction directly, as well as their side effects, such as chronic illness, criminal activity, family issues, and unemployment. We provide intervention and treatment through the use of medication, therapy, education, and referral to self-help groups. Responsibilities include: facilitating educational groups, crisis intervention, assessment of a customer's needs, strengths, and weaknesses, treatment planning, case management, sitting in on psychological and psychiatric assessments.
• HIV Prevention: Brandywine’s Harm Reduction Outreach Program provides health education and risk reduction activities for persons at risk for HIV infection. We offer culturally sensitive, non-judgmental services to address the health and social service needs of drug users, sex workers, and their partners in the City of Wilmington. Responsibilities include: community outreach, distribution of HIV risk-reduction supplies, overdose prevention, data management and reporting, group education, and other projects as developed by the intern and supervising staff.
