About Winners Circle Group of Texas
Winners Circle Group of Texas is a community-based behavioral health organization serving Houston and the surrounding region. Our work spans therapy, psychiatric services, community-based supports, and care coordination for individuals living with mental health conditions. We are committed to workforce development in behavioral health and to creating meaningful learning experiences for emerging professionals.
About This Internship
This internship is designed for an undergraduate student exploring social work, behavioral health, or a related human services field as a potential career path. Rather than a direct-service role, this position offers structured exposure to the profession of behavioral health through project-based work across administration, communications, quality assurance, and community resource development.
The intern will spend the summer contributing to projects that support — but operate alongside rather than inside — our clinical and operational functions. She will leave the internship with a portfolio of completed work, a clearer understanding of what a career in community behavioral health looks like, and a network of professional contacts across the field.
Primary Project (Capstone)
Harris County Community Resource Directory
The intern will independently research, organize, and produce a current, practitioner-ready community resource directory covering housing assistance, food security, transportation, legal aid, vocational services, crisis services, and related social determinant supports across Harris County and the greater Houston metro. This directory will be used by Winners Circle staff to support members and referral partners.
Deliverable: A finished, formatted resource directory (electronic and/or print-ready) with contact information, eligibility notes, and service descriptions — owned end-to-end by the intern.
Rotational Project Contributions
Alongside the capstone, the intern will contribute to four additional workstreams, each led by a different team member:
- QA/QC — Training & Documentation Support
Assist in developing training materials, job aids, and documentation templates drawn from publicly available behavioral health standards (e.g., HHSC rules, CARF guidance). Work is limited to educational and reference materials; the intern will not have access to member records, audits, or compliance data.
- Mission-Facing Communications Content
Draft blog posts, social media content, and community education pieces — including content supporting Mental Health Awareness Month (May). Topics will center on general mental health awareness, reducing stigma, and introducing the public to community-based behavioral health.
- Centralized Admissions Unit — Outward-Facing Materials
As Winners Circle stands up a new centralized admissions function, the intern will help draft referral partner materials, frequently-asked-questions documents for prospective members and families, intake welcome packets, and process materials written from the member perspective. The intern will not be exposed to live intake queues, member data, or internal admissions workflows.
- Careers in Behavioral Health Content
Conduct 4–6 structured informational interviews with Winners Circle staff across roles (therapist, clinician, QMHP supervisor, admissions lead, QA, clinical leadership, People & Culture). Produce written career profiles or a “career pathways in behavioral health” resource that Winners Circle can use for recruiting, onboarding, and community career education. This work also gives the intern direct exposure to practitioners across the field.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the internship, the intern will be able to:
- Describe the structure of a community-based behavioral health organization and the roles within it
- Identify key career pathways in social work and behavioral health, including relevant certifications and licensure progressions
- Demonstrate familiarity with the social determinants framework and community resource landscape in Harris County
- Produce professional-grade written materials appropriate for referral partners, staff, and the general public
- Reflect on fit between her own interests and a career in social work or behavioral health
Qualifications
Required
- Current undergraduate student in good standing, with interest in social work, psychology, public health, human services, or a related field
- Strong written communication skills
- Ability to work independently and manage multiple concurrent projects
- Professionalism, discretion, and reliability
Preferred
- Coursework in social work, psychology, sociology, public health, or communications
- Familiarity with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, or Canva
- Prior experience in a professional or community service setting
Important: Confidentiality & Conflict of Interest
The intern is currently employed by another organization operating in the behavioral health space. Because of this, the internship has been intentionally scoped to exclude exposure to Winners Circle’s proprietary operations, member information, clinical workflows, competitive strategy, and internal business data.
As a condition of the internship, the intern will be required to sign a confidentiality and conflict-of-interest acknowledgment at the start of her engagement. This acknowledgment will specify:
- The categories of information she will and will not be exposed to
- Her obligations regarding any Winners Circle information she does encounter in the course of her work
- Her obligations regarding her current employer’s confidential information (Winners Circle does not seek, and will not accept, any confidential information belonging to her current employer)
- Expectations for professional conduct during and after the internship
Winners Circle will structure supervision, project assignments, and system access consistently with these boundaries.
Supervision & Support
The intern will have:
- A designated weekly 1:1 with a primary check-in lead for reflection, feedback, and career conversation
- Project-level direction from the lead of each workstream
- Access to professional development opportunities including observation of appropriate meetings and events
- A mid-internship review and an end-of-internship exit conversation
