Savant Care is pleased to offer internships in mental health awareness. 

The internship pays $1000 for three public awareness campaigns centred on the theme “Stamping Out Mental Health Stigma.”

Each month, we focus on a particular topic, as follows:

Month 1: Depression

Part 1: Write and publish one article on a local media platform that addresses the stigma of depression in a relatable manner and encourages readers to use the PHQ9 tool to determine their level of depression. 

Part 2: Collect questions to be answered by Dr. Vidushi Savant anonymously.

Part 3: Publish an article on a local media platform that includes Dr. Vidushi Savant’s responses to readers’ questions.

Month 2: Anxiety

Part 1: Write and publish one article on local media platforms that address the stigma surrounding anxiety in a relatable way. Ask readers to use the anxiety tool to check their anxiety scores. Data is secure and private, so there’s no risk of stigma.

Part 2: Collect questions to be answered by Dr. Vidushi Savant anonymously.

Part 3: Write an article that presents Dr. Savant’s answers, and publish it locally.

Month 3: Life vs. I Need a Help Tool

Part 1: Write and publish one article on local media platforms that address the stigma surrounding mental health and the need to get help in a relatable way.

Part 2: Collect questions to be answered by Dr. Vidushi Savant anonymously.

Part 3: Write an article that presents Dr. Savant’s answers, and publish it locally.


The top three interns will be invited to spend a week at the Savant Care Clinic in San Francisco Savant Care will cover travel and lodging expenses.
