Job Overview

Job Description

Sports Mental Health & Behavioral Wellness Internship in Boston, Massachusetts Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Boston, MA and nationwide)

A CITY OF TROPHIES AND TEACHING HOSPITALS
Boston measures itself in banners: Celtics, Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots, a marathon each April. Its classrooms train psychologists and researchers. Built like a seminar, finished like a publication. Remote; fellows join a national cohort online, no local office or partnership claimed.

ONE INTERVIEW AS THE CORE TEXT
On ALL THE SMOKE, Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson interview Warren Moon on racism, family pressure, and secretly attending therapy. Undrafted as a quarterback, Moon won five consecutive Grey Cups with the Edmonton Eskimos, became the NFL's highest-paid player with the Houston Oilers, earned nine Pro Bowls, played until forty four, and in 2006 was inducted as the first undrafted and first Black quarterback in the Hall of Fame. Fellows annotate him chapter by chapter and produce content, because asking for help is a strength.

SIX CHAPTERS, SIX FINDINGS
Chapters: Refusing to Change Positions, Secretly Attending Therapy, Playing Until 44. Findings: hidden help, the only one effect, racial stress, trained composure, purpose, stigma.

THE SIX KINDS OF WORK
Active Listening, chapter by chapter; Mental Health Research; Content Creation; Community Education; Purpose Connection; Legacy in Real Time.

WHO SHOULD APPLY
Open to students and emerging professionals in psychology, public health, social work, sport studies, plus athletes and coaches. Rigor and kindness required; a sports resume is not. Gain fluency and a finished piece.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone. Call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
