About Josselyn
Josselyn’s vision of providing Mental health for all reduces cost as a barrier to receive mental health treatment and support. Josselyn works with every client to ensure access to care regardless of income and insurance, including a sliding fee scale based on eligibility. Over 70% of Josselyn’s clients are on Medicaid.
Recognition
Loyola University School of Social Work selected Josselyn and its internship program as agency partner of the year.
Growth
Josselyn has offices in Grayslake, Highland Park, Highwood, Northbrook, Northfield, and Waukegan. This year we had 30 interns from over 10 universities.
What can a graduate student expect from a Josselyn clinical internship?
- Each intern will be assigned their own individual supervisor, and they will be expected to commit to a weekly supervision meeting.
- Each intern must set aside 2 hours a week for a virtual one-hour administrative group and one-hour clinical group supervision. Currently they run back-to-back from 2-3 pm and 3-4 pm on Mondays.
- The internship program is designed so each intern will build up to 10-12 clients.
- Interns can expect a mixed caseload to include adults, children, teens, and some clients on meds management.
- Interns will be taught to do comprehensive IM+CANS psycho-social assessments, which is the best way to build a caseload at Josselyn.
- The most common schedule for an intern is to build up to 3 days a week or 21 hours per week. Accommodations are made for students on a practicum/ internship model.
- Each intern is required to commit to at least one evening a week because this is when there is the greatest demand for clients.
- We are currently having students come into the office and see clients in person and virtually. Modified hybrid options may be available after the initial 3 months, based on supervisors recommendation.
- Interns will have access to weekly consultation groups on a variety of topics including substance abuse, living with a psychosis, family therapy, substance abuse and more.
- Interns are encouraged to attend monthly virtual CEU programs. This year speakers included experts of EMDR, narrative therapy, ethics, psychopharmacology and more.
- Also, there are a range of trainings that can be completed independently prior to the start of the orientation in late August. These include IM+CANS and HIPAA training and certification.
- All interns will use Microsoft Outlook, Word, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint.
