MOPS usually accepts two persons each year into our Social Work internship. Social Work interns become part of our staff as part time temporary employees and receive financial compensation for direct service hours. Social Work interns will be supervised by clinicians who are Independent Social Workers with Supervisory Endorsement through the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, Marriage and Family Therapist Board.
Typically, Social Work interns are expected to be with the agency for at least twelve months–usually meeting the requirements for practicum and internship experiences for most universities. Social Work interns will carry a case load of approximately 5 to 15 clients for individual therapy during the internship and will often participate in group treatment experiences with a licensed clinician as a co-therapist. Clinical internships through MOPS often result in full time employment with the agency upon graduation.
Applicants for the Social Work internship program must pass a background and drug screening, and must evidence the potential to develop exceptional clinical skill.
