About Our Program
Internships
The Osiris Group is dedicated to preparing master's-level students for careers in behavioral health through meaningful, hands-on clinical experience. Our internship program partners with graduate programs in Social Work and Mental Health Counseling to provide students with the opportunity to work alongside licensed clinicians and multidisciplinary teams.
Interns gain exposure to a broad continuum of care — from early intervention services for young children and families, to DCF-partnered Support & Stabilization services, to outpatient and community-based care for adolescents and adults — while developing the skills, confidence, and experience needed for professional practice.
Master's-level interns (MSW, MA, or MS candidates) have the opportunity to work with individuals, families, and groups from diverse social, cultural, emotional, and economic backgrounds.
