We’re incredibly grateful to partner alongside local universities each semester to have graduate-level interns join our KinderMourn team. Our graduate-level interns manage their own caseloads, help facilitate support groups, and play a huge role in our day-to-day operations, assisting with answering the phones, restocking snacks for clients, and researching integral resources and grants in our community. They are supervised by our Executive Director and also have the opportunity to be mentored by our entire clinical staff.
All of the interns are in master’s-level counseling programs, such as Master’s of Social Work, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Marriage & Family Therapy, or Psychology programs. Similar to those working towards healthcare positions, such as doctors completing their residency or nursing students completing their clinicals, internships in clinical settings are a significant part of the training and requirements needed for mental health clinicians to graduate with a master’s degree and ultimately work towards gaining their full licensure.
We truly could not serve as many KinderMourn families without their help, so we want to take a moment to highlight the incredible interns who are part of our team for the 2025-2026 school year. We are so lucky to have their support over the next year, so please join us in welcoming them to our KinderMourn team!
