Every year, we provide clinical education and training to seven to eight clinical interns at the Stonewall Project, our counseling program dedicated to providing harm reduction–based substance use and mental health treatment to gay, bi and trans men who have sex with men (MSM) who are interested in addressing their drug or alcohol use.
The internship requires 20 hours per week, and a one-year commitment is required. We accept candidates from students enrolled in master’s programs in counseling, psychology, or social work (MA, MS, MSW, MEd); post-master’s Associate MFTs, Associate PCCs, and ASWs; and alcohol and drug counselors seeking California certification.
CLINICAL INTERNS RECEIVE:
- Experience providing individual counseling, group counseling, walk-in counseling, and prevention and health education using harm reduction, cognitive-behavioral and relational approaches
- Individual and group supervision with knowledgeable, supportive LMFT and LCSW clinicians
- Monthly didactic and experiential training in motivational interviewing techniques
- 5 to 7 interactive training sessions on diversity, inclusion and cultural humility, focusing on the specific communities we serve
- Additional training sessions addressing important substance use, mental health, and HIV counseling topics within gay, bi and trans MSM communities
