Bridging Theory and Practice: Shaping the Next Generation of Mental Health Leaders

At HIR Wellness Institute, we’re redefining what clinical training looks like. Our internship program bridges the gap between classroom education and community care—bringing students into spaces where healing happens. Interns learn directly from experienced clinicians and community leaders while providing compassionate, no-cost mental health support to survivors and families.

Innovating the Future of Mental Health Training

At HIR Wellness Institute, we’re redefining what it means to learn, grow, and lead in the mental health field. Through our Community Activated Medicine™ (CAM™) Advanced Training Clinic, interns gain hands-on experience that bridges theory with real-world practice—working directly with diverse communities under expert supervision.





→ Apply today to become part of the next generation of trauma-informed, compassionate leaders.

Our immersive approach empowers emerging professionals to develop confidence, clinical skill, and cultural awareness while contributing to meaningful change. Every internship is built on mentorship, collaboration, and continuous learning—so you graduate ready to make an impact. Join a training program that’s more than an internship—it’s a movement to change how mental health care is taught, practiced, and delivered.

"It's time for a change in the way an internship looks and feels. We must invest in the next generation of leading professionals."
- Lea S. Denny, CEO & Founder HIR Wellness Institute
