Social Work Counseling Services

CORE is a macro-focused, social work faculty initiative that partners with under-resourced social service organizations in local communities. It provides assessment for community agencies and works to enhance their capacity for service provision and increase sustainability through faculty-student engagement. Services include agency needs assessment and program evaluation, literature reviews, administrative development, staff trainings, and clinical supervision.

CSVA provides free therapeutic services to adults who are considered to be vulnerable, such as people with intellectual disability or people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. To expand the circle of emotionally healthy supporters in a person's life, CSVA also provides services to members of their circle of support, including family members, caregivers, and friends. As a clinical social work intern, sponsored in part by a federally funded BHWET/HRSA grant, you will provide individual and group counseling, training, and other support models. CSVA works to promote resiliency, psycho-education, healing, prevention, and strength for these communities through person-centered, trauma-informed services.

Our Widener Community Connections team was developed in partnership with our community services and clinics. This team provides therapeutic case management and resource navigation services to clients of our clinics. As a generalist social work intern, you will staff this clinic to assist community residents served by our clinics with the support they need to overcome barriers in obtaining support services. This team also provides a unique opportunity for you if you're gaining a joint Master of Social Work (MSW) and Master of Education in Human Sexuality (MEd) to provide sexuality-informed services to clients of the Center for Human Sexuality Studies clinics.
