The NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) HelpLine is a free, nationwide peer-support service providing information, resource referrals and support to people living with a mental health condition, their family members and caregivers, mental health providers and the public.
NAMI HelpLine interns respond to inquiries by phone and text to provide valuable information about mental health conditions and treatment options, NAMI education and support programs, and other mental health resources. NAMI HelpLine interns also help individuals and families improve their lives and advance mental health recovery by listening to their concerns and providing brief emotional support.
An internship with NAMI HelpLine is an opportunity to develop a deep understanding of the mental health landscape, mental illnesses, treatment options and recovery strategies. For undergraduate interns, NAMI HelpLine can assign a site supervisor, but we cannot offer frequent 1:1 supervision meetings. However, NAMI HelpLine offers regular educational and professional development opportunities, including Pop Up Wellness events, NAMI HelpLine Expert Q&A webinars, and Office Hours, to learn more about a variety of important mental health topics and engage in impactful discussions, and daily shift meetings to build community and learn about best practices.
