Description of program and training opportunities:
Twelve Prescott provides a range of residential and community-based services designed to preserve and support young adults who struggle with chronic mental illness.
Twelve Prescott is a unique program that offers three levels of care for young adults. Undergraduate level interns at Twelve Prescott will be given the opportunity to work with young adults living in the residential portion of Twelve Prescott to encourage growth towards independent living.
Interns will help support clients to increase independent living skills through therapeutic interventions, case management, advocacy, and concrete support such as assistance with accessing services and making referrals.
A Twelve Prescott Internship is an excellent placement for confident self-starters who will receive ample support from a strong clinical team and will also function autonomously in the community.
