Vacaville Psychiatric Program (VPP) is a licensed psychiatric treatment facility located within a prison, California Medical Facility (CMF), Vacaville. The population served is all male inmates who are referred from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) for mental health treatment and evaluation. VPP has 218 beds in the Acute Psychiatric Program (APP) and 178 beds in the Intermediate Treatment Program (ITP). The intern will have approximately 2 weeks of orientation training and will learn important clinical and administrative issues that are vital to working in a correctional environment. Following the orientation, the intern will be assigned various tasks based on the training objectives in a primary unit, including observing, co-leading and leading eight (8) Recreation therapy groups per week (3 groups of leading, 4 groups of co‐leading, 1 non‐Recreation Therapy group observation), rehabilitation therapy documentation with a caseload of 10 patients, and their rehabilitation therapy-related documentation requirements, involvement in treatment conferences and various meetings, and other professional skills applicable to working in this environment. The intern may work on other units to learn and to be familiar with different therapeutic milieus and patient populations. The intern will have hour-long, weekly supervision meeting with the supervising recreation therapist. The intern will be given a formal and informal feedback constantly, and will be engaged in formal evaluations twice during the internship, once at the mid-term and again at the completion of the internship. The intern will work collaboratively throughout the internship as an interdisciplinary team member, instead of working independently. The interdisciplinary treatment team consists of psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, nurses (RNs and Medical Technical Assistants), and correctional officers. The intern will be assigned a primary full-time supervising recreation therapist approved supervising recreation therapist, as well as uncertified recreation therapists, and other rehabilitation therapists, including art and music therapists. Although the size of the groups vary from large (5-8 in the Acute Program, 6-15 in the Intermediate Program), small (2-4 in the Acute Program), to the individual (one to one), most of the sessions are provided in a large group setting. The recreation therapy groups are designed to address various therapeutic goals based on the needs of the patients, e.g. improving coping skills for depression, gaining skills to manage auditory hallucination, stabilizing mood, etc. The recreation therapy groups may be recreation-activity focused, educational, and/or process -oriented with various degrees of verbal interventions. The Recreation Therapy groups are designed for various therapeutic goals based on the needs of the patients on the unit. Examples include improving reality testing and experiencing shared reality, developing trust in self and others, improving self‐concept, ego‐strength, and self esteem, exploring and clarifying values, maximizing independent performance of life skills, identifying and utilizing constructive outlets for aggression, tension, and anxiety, improving communication skills and promoting positive means of expression, and developing copings skills to stress. The Recreation Therapy groups could be recreation activity-focused, educational, and/or process-oriented with various degrees of verbal interventions. Recreation therapy involves the informed application of improvisational, receptive and recreative methods to assist in the achievement of treatment goals. VPP meets the criteria as an approved fieldwork/internship site for Therapeutic Recreation students through the California Board of Recreation and Park Certification and the National Council on Therapeutic Recreation Certification. The standard period of hours for completion of the internship is 640 hours, a 16-week period with the intern working 40 hours per week, which exceeds the NCTRC requirements. Interns are required to commit to the full 16 weeks. The final filing date for the Spring 2013 applications will be announced in late July 2012. |

Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra is a Non-profit 501 (c) 3 that operates an Adaptive Ski and Snowboard School on the slopes of Mammoth Mountain Ski Area located in Mammoth Lakes, Ca, (Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains). Internships are available for those interested in gaining experience working with disabled students while teaching them to ski or snowboard. Our internship program is structured and provides a comprehensive overview with hands on experience working with disabled students. The disabilities of our students range widely from those with cognitive conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder and Downs Syndrome, to those with visual impairments and students with physical disabilities such as amputations or spinal cord injuries. As such, a successful Intern has compassion, patience, a strong work ethic and the ability to work a physically and mentally demanding role in a winter mountain environment. Internships are for a 15 week period starting Dec. 11 2001 through Mar. 31 2012. Interns are expected to work a 40 week at the Adaptive Sports School performing a variety of indoor and outdoor related tasks. The main role of an Intern is to go through our Instructor Training Program, move to a secondary role in lessons and quickly move to becoming a Primary Instructor on adaptive lessons. Interns are required to have skills at a high intermediate level in alpine skiing and provide their own alpine equipment in working order. The ability to snowboard is optional. We also have intern openings in our office helping with a variety of clerical, marketing and fundraising projects. Benefits of being an Intern at DSES are the incredible reward of working with students who are mentally or physically challenged, skiing privileges at Mammoth Mountain, (one of the best ski areas in the United States), access to MMSA employee housing at normal rates, daily training clinics and top level training for Alpine, Snowboard or Adaptive certifications from the Professional Ski Instructors of America or American Association of Snowboard Instructors. |

During the months of September, October, April, and May interns will develop and present a variety of requested programs to school groups of all ages and special interest groups. These take place in the schools, the community or in the preserve. Interns work at special events, assist in the training of new employees and volunteers as the need arises, work on assigned projects, develop new activities and teacher materials, and maintain and inventory equipment. Interns also assist in the facilitation of teacher workshops such as Project Wild and Project Wet. Interns attend meetings of the Collier Environmental Education Consortium (CEEC), assist with the Environmental School Awards Program and assist in preparations for the S.W.A.M.P. program
November through March – Five days a week interns work with S.W.A.M.P., Swamp Water and Me Program, a hands-on curriculum-based environmental education program with the 6th grade students and their teachers from the Collier County School System. Interns either assist rangers or lead own groups depending on staffing during the field trip. This involves hiking into a cypress strand, prairie and pineland with the students and helping them with field experiments, data gathering and other activities such as radio telemetry, dip netting, water quality testing, soil sampling, animal and vegetation identification and weather tests. While the hiking is not long in distance it can be very physically demanding as it involves walking through knee to thigh deep water, heat and humidity, mosquitoes, uneven footing and other swamp creatures besides the 6th graders! These groups are extremely diverse in learning levels and cultural backgrounds.
One day a week the interns will present the pre-site programs in the classrooms. Interns will also assist in the facilitation of the S.W.A.M.P. Teacher Workshop,
The Interns work Monday through Friday, 40 hours, with all weekends off except in the case of a special event, for example to judge a science fair, attend a water or earth day festival or a training opportunity. Interns will have all holidays off.
Interns will have the opportunity to assist with projects in other divisions including resource management, fire, administration, maintenance and law enforcement, and will visit other agencies and attractions in the area as part of their training.
Interns will be working directly with the Education Specialist on a daily basis as well as have the opportunity to work with the Chief of Interpretation, Administrative Officer and Assistant Superintendent to be exposed to and gain experience in many operational aspects of the preserve, including programming, management, budget, facilities, and public relations
Skills: Must enjoy and have experience working with children. An education, recreation or biology background is preferred. It is necessary to have knowledge of natural science, good communication skills, be flexible, a self starter and in good physical condition. Must have enthusiasm!!!
