          Suicide is complicated and tragic, but it is often preventable. We can decrease suicide and suicide attempts by increasing student, staff, and faculty knowledge and adaptive attitudes about help-seeking and reducing the stigma of mental illness, as well as acknowledging the importance of seeking help or treatment. Knowing the warning signs, risk factors, and protective factors can help save lives.

Undergraduate Internship Program

Thank you for your interest in becoming an Ohio State University Suicide Prevention Program (OSUSPP) Undergraduate Intern! Successful applicants will have a strong desire to learn about reducing mental health stigma, suicide prevention, and REACH© suicide prevention gatekeeper training administration. Because we believe that preventing suicide is a shared campus responsibility, OSUSPP is intentional about selecting interns who represent a diverse cross-section of academic majors, interests, ethnicity, cultures, and student organizations. 
 
Interns who join the OSUSPP team for either Fall 2022 or Spring 2023, will have the opportunity to become campus leaders in mental health promotion and whose mission is to engage our OSU campus community of nearly 100,000 students, staff, and faculty through suicide prevention education, outreach, and advocacy efforts. Interns receive excellent training and support alongside a large staff who together work to develop unique ways to educate staff, faculty, and students around suicide prevention and to promote mental health stigma reduction. 
 
Interns will develop skills in professionalism and advocacy while learning the true meaning of prevention. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, program outreach events (such as the Out of the Darkness Campus Walk), REACH© training administration, attending weekly and bi-weekly staff and internship meetings, social media and website content development, assisting with research projects, and developing marketing efforts for new program initiatives. Each intern will also combine their personal interests with OSUSPP’s mission to develop individualized learning/development goals to be achieved during that semester. Additionally, interns create and implement a “legacy project,” which culminates the internship experience and offers a way to leave their personal passion mark on our program.

To learn more about the internship experience, job duties, and expectations, please read the 2022-2023 Intern Position Description
