Intern At — The Happier Life Project, Inc
Founded in 2021, The Happier Life Project is Riverside County's first non-profit, peer-led Recovery Community Organization (RCO), committed to serving individuals and families seeking or in recovery from substance use or mental health challenges. The Happier Life Project shifts perspective, reduces stigma, and provides hope around recovery. Our foundation of peer-to-peer relationships lets us meet people on their chosen pathway of healing and support them in discovering the answers to their wellness. Combining evidence-based practices with a holistic approach, we connect our peers to a reliable network of services and share our lived experience that recovery is possible and everyone can achieve a happier life.
At the end of this opportunity, students will have learned how to assess the needs of individuals and families to support them better and connect them to other community resources. They will be part of the solution and help others in their chosen recovery pathway by applying evidence-based practices with a trauma-informed/trauma-responsive approach. How to work within an organization committed to diversity, equity and inclusion by having cultural humility.
