Job Description

The mission of the Center for Alternative Sentencing and Employment Services (CASES) is to increase public safety through innovative services that reduce crime and incarceration, improve behavioral health, promote recovery and rehabilitation, and create opportunities for success in the community. Our Vision is a city in which a person’s previous criminal involvement or behavioral health needs do not limit the opportunity to realize his or her best life.

CASES offers over 15 different programs available for internship. Our programs service youth and adults with a focus on helping people at the intersection of mental health and criminal justice. Our wide array of services include outpatient and mobile mental health treatment through our clinic or Assertive Community Treatment teams, educational, career and enrichment services and mentorship programs for at risk youth, and a variety of criminal justice diversion programs (Pretrial Supervision and Alternatives to incarceration). We have multiple offices across the city and also provide services in the communities where our participants live and work.

CASES provides students opportunities to become truly integrated into our programs and teams; simultaneously learning and working alongside our own staff. Students can gain experience in direct clinical practice with individuals and groups, clinical and operational experience in court, community and program office settings, and first-hand experience working in a multidisciplinary and cross-agency collaborative setting.
