Independence, Ohio
Cornerstone of Hope values interns, the care they provide our clients, and their integral role in our organization. We are committed to providing all interns with a meaningful and successful educational placement.
Our Commitment to Interns:
Access to clinical staff members with extensive trauma and bereavement training.
A comprehensive learning environment that teaches interns both micro and macro level skills.
Individualized attention to aid in professional development.
Weekly supervision from independently licensed clinicians with a supervisory designation and experience in the bereavement field.
A varying caseload that will include, but is not limited to: children, teens, adults, seniors, uncomplicated bereavement, and traumatic loss.
Facilitation of at least one support group during your internship.
Monthly opportunities for Professional Development Hours.
Our Expectations:
A commitment of at least 16 hours a week at Cornerstone of Hope (this may equal or exceed your school requirement).
It is expected that interns maintain their weekly schedule as contracted, even once reaching the hours required by their school program.
It is also expected that interns maintain their weekly schedule during school breaks. Any request for time off during these periods must be approved in advance.
The commitment to attend weekly intern group supervision Tuesdays 1:00-3:00 PM.

While the majority of an intern’s experience revolves around clinical work, interns are also expected to engage in non-clinical work when needed such as making phone calls, working at the receptionist desk, etc.
