Job Overview

Job Description

Sports Mental Health & Behavioral Wellness Internship in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Philadelphia, PA and nationwide)

PHILLY DEMANDS HONESTY
Philadelphia fans notice effort instantly, Eagles Sundays included. For decades, players absorbed pain quietly at the locker room door. A Hall of Fame quarterback now explains that silence.

PART ONE: THE ANSWER
On ALL THE SMOKE, Warren Moon speaks to Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson about racism, family pressure, and secretly attending therapy. Undrafted as a quarterback, Moon refused a position change, signed with the Edmonton Eskimos, and won five consecutive Grey Cups.

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.

PART TWO: THE COST AND THE COMEBACK
The Houston Oilers made Moon the NFL's highest-paid player. He added nine Pro Bowls, played until forty four, and in 2006 became the first undrafted and first Black quarterback inducted into the Hall of Fame. Chapters on Doug Williams and longevity widen the lens. The Secretly Attending Therapy chapter sits at the center. Its message: asking for help is a strength.

THE ASSIGNMENTS
Active Listening across the interview. Mental Health Research on athlete well being. Content Creation in essay, guide, or media form. Community Education. Purpose Connection to your life. Legacy in Real Time, carrying a life saving discussion forward.

WHO BELONGS HERE
Any student or emerging professional can apply, including athletes, coaches, and students in psychology, public health, or media. No playing background is required. You earn fluency and finished work.
