Sports Mental Health & Behavioral Wellness Internship in Indianapolis

Job Overview

Job Description

Sports Mental Health & Behavioral Wellness Internship in Indianapolis, Indiana Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Indianapolis, IN and nationwide)

RACING CITY, QUIET PRESSURE
Indianapolis stages the Speedway each May and fills downtown for Colts and Pacers games. This remote placement studies the hidden half of performance.

THE SECRET: PART ONE
Our anchor is one ALL THE SMOKE conversation: Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson sit with Warren Moon, who describes racism, family pressure, and secretly attending therapy while still playing. The chapter titled Secretly Attending Therapy reframes everything. Moon insists asking for help is a strength.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER HERE
Our work rests on 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.

THE SECRET: PART TWO
No club drafted Moon as a quarterback, so he joined the Edmonton Eskimos and captured five consecutive Grey Cups. The Houston Oilers later made him the NFL's highest-paid player. He earned nine Pro Bowls, played until forty four, and entered the Hall of Fame in 2006 as the first undrafted and first Black quarterback inducted. Readings add racial stress, stigma, and purpose.

WHAT YOUR WEEKS WILL HOLD
Six kinds of work rotate: Active Listening, Mental Health Research, Content Creation, Community Education, Purpose Connection, and Legacy in Real Time.

WHO FITS, WHAT YOU KEEP
Players, coaches, and psychology, public health, social work, or media students fit well. You finish with a credited portfolio piece.

If you or someone close to you is struggling, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
