Internships

The Logansport State Hospital Social Services Department has a long standing and rich tradition of welcoming social services interns. We offer opportunities for both the 3-4 month internship, as well as the longer 8-12 month experience. The Social Services Department welcomes both the bachelors and masters level students. Some but not all of the learning opportunities include:

Participating in new employee training
Participating with a multi-disciplinary treatment team
Learning how to document patient notes, treatment plans and assessments
Training in the area and participating in active treatment groups. These groups address a wide range of mental health and substance abuse disorders
Learning overall concepts about the mental health system including Bureau of Developmental Disabilities Services and Community Mental Health Centers
Attending administrative meetings to learn about the hospitals policies and procedures

All social service intern inquiries are encouraged to contact the social services director at (574) 737-3799.
