Greater Reading Mental Health Alliance (GRMHA) is an organization dedicated to promoting mental health education and wellness. It provides the Berks County area’s residents with advocacy through various individual and system-wide support services. As an intern at GRMHA I was required to demonstrate the highest level of professionalism, communicate effectively with the staff, appreciate diversity in all its forms, and show excellent written and verbal communication skills. Some of my duties included keeping the office organized by covering tasks of other workers, participating in team meetings, shadowing each department, participating in client intakes, and sitting in on support groups. I started at GRMHA on September 12, 2016 and continued until mid November with a total of 81 hours.
