Sports Mental Health & Behavioral Wellness Internship in Raleigh-Durha

Job Overview

Job Description

Sports Mental Health & Behavioral Wellness Internship in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Raleigh-Durham, NC and nationwide)

OUR GUIDING COMMITMENTS, UP FRONT
The Five Principles of Voice Up: Collaboration (all are welcome), Humility (we all have much to learn), Precision (all the details matter), Patience (we all need forgiveness; we all make mistakes and learn from each), Empathy (we must understand your why). This is how Voice Up has achieved what it has to date.

WHERE LAB HABITS MEET RIVALRIES
Raleigh-Durham pairs three major universities and a famed research park with loyalties fierce enough to split holiday tables. This fellowship reads one athlete's life like a research case.

ONE INTERVIEW, EXAMINED LIKE A CASE FILE
Warren Moon arrived undrafted as a quarterback, detoured to the Edmonton Eskimos, and won five consecutive Grey Cups before the Houston Oilers made him the NFL's highest-paid player. Then came nine Pro Bowls, playing until forty four, and 2006 Hall of Fame induction, first undrafted and first Black quarterback inducted. With Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson on ALL THE SMOKE, he discusses racism, family pressure, and secretly attending therapy. Fellows test "Secretly Attending Therapy" against studies of racial stress: asking for help is a strength.

LAB WORK YOU WILL ACTUALLY PRODUCE
Six tasks structure your weeks: Active Listening, Mental Health Research, Content Creation, Community Education, Purpose Connection, and Legacy in Real Time.

FOR CURIOUS MINDS
Psychology, public health, social work, education, and communications students are at home here, as are athletes and coaches. You finish with a mastered case study and a published piece.

YOUR TWO STEPS, COMBINED
Step One: start as an academic intern for credit through your school, or volunteer, or enroll in the School for Humans Flourishing. Step Two: interns who demonstrate success, reliable, consistent, living the Five Principles, advance to Leadership Fellows at $25 to $35 per hour first, then consultants at $50 to $100 per hour.

LOGISTICS IN ONE PLACE
Voice Up Publishing Incorporated posts this internship. It runs eight weeks, remote and flexible, five to fifteen hours a week, in a national cohort online. It is remote, with no local office or partnership claimed. New cohorts begin on the first of each month, and current students may also do paid special projects at $20 to $30 per hour.

Call or text 988, day or night, for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline if you or someone you know is struggling.

ASK A QUESTION AND APPLY
Email with one question about athletes and mental health that deserves better data, and the piece you would build to explore it. See voiceuplab.org/InternshipSportsMentalHealth.
