Internships Or Class Tours

Internships – PRIDE Institute is committed to working with students and new professionals.  If you are a student in an alcohol and drug counseling training program or a graduate student in psychology, counseling, social work or marriage and family therapy please be aware of the following:

  • Minimum expectation for a bachelor level intern is 16 hours/week for 12 weeks.
  • Minimum expectation for a graduate level intern is 20 hours/week for 16 weeks.
  • To be considered for an internship, students must email a letter of interest along with a resume or curriculum vitae.  Please do not send via snail mail. We will not respond to phone calls for information regarding internships.
  • For best consideration, please submit ADC application materials to Todd Connaughty, director of clinical services, at todd.connaughty@uhsinc.com,  or mental health intern applications to Dr. Shannon Garrity, director of mental health services, at shannon.garrity@uhsinc.com, no later than October 15th for a January start date, January 15th for May, and May 15th for September.   Some academic institutions require confirmation of a fall internship placement in spring, please be advised that if a suitable match is made prior to May, internship opportunities for a fall placement may be limited.
  • Career Interviews – We receive many requests from students for interviews for career counseling and development classes.  If you want to interview one of our counselors, please email your request to todd.connaughty@uhsinc.com.  We will send your request to our counseling team and, if someone has time to talk with you, you will receive an email response.  Please understand that we receive 3 or 4 requests each week and our staff may not respond to every request.  It’s best to make a request several weeks prior to the due date and to provide this information in the email.
