Behavioral Health Practicum, Internship, and Field Experience Opportunities

Psychology, Clinical Social Work, Mental Health Counseling, and Substance Abuse Counseling 

Field experience opportunities are unpaid clinical experiences for students in psychology, social work, and mental health counseling programs. Field placements can be arranged in various prison facilities across North Carolina with either male or female populations.

Most opportunities involve working with an outpatient mental health team following a community mental health center model. Some of the men and women we serve live in a large institution, others in one of smaller prison units. We also have opportunities to gain experience in specialized programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities, with serious and persistent mental illness, and for those with sexual offenses. Some of these programs are based on an Inpatient or Residential model while others follow a Day Treatment or Partial Hospitalization Model."
