Walk In Crisis Center (WIC) - MSW Intern - 2nd Year

MSW interns at our Walk In Crisis Center (WIC) will have the opportunity to observe and learn from AllHealth Network clinicians in a crisis setting. The WIC MSW intern will receive full spectrum exposure to working with a diverse population of clients in crisis. This placement is located at our Walk In Crisis Center on the Acute Care Campus in Littleton, Colorado.

The MSW intern will gain experience working with clients requiring higher levels of care and intervention due to their symptoms. Prospective interns should have special interest in crisis counseling, suicide prevention, risk assessment, and be open to working with clients experiencing psychosis, mania, personality disorders, and co-occurring substance use. This is a high acuity setting and interns will need to follow all agency policies and be very adaptable.

Under the supervision of a licensed clinical social worker the intern will support the WIC team by completing crisis evaluations with clients to determine safety and make referrals to appropriate levels of care, provide therapeutic crisis intervention and de-escalation to Acute Care clients, and review external referrals for admission to the Acute Treatment Unit and Crisis Stabilization Unit. As with all placements, the intern will receive weekly supervision from a licensed clinician.
