The Starfish Canada is looking for 1 intern to write a three-part article series on the importance of mental health awareness and support (~700-800 words each). The goal of the project is to publish 3 high-quality articles about Mental Health and its connection to environmentalism on The Starfish Canada’s Youth Journal.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
The student will work on a campaign circling Mental Health Awareness and Support. The student will need to do some research on mental health awareness, the interdisciplinary connection to environmentalism, and other related topics. The student is required to write 3 high-quality articles and submit them in a timely manner to an editor. The first article will be about the history of mental health awareness, the importance of therapy and mental health support. The second article will be about how mental health awareness ties into the environmental movement and how to have an effective climate conversation. The third article will be about centering joy to promote good mental health. It will also include collecting responses from friends and family about what they do to support their own mental health and talking to people within the sustainability space about mental health.

- How will you support learners in completing the project?
-
We will connect the writer to an editor to help the writer with direct editing and feedback on their writing. The student will also have biweekly check-ins with the Editorial Program Manager in order for the editorial leadership team to provide feedback and support. We will provide the student with a timeline and a schedule of deadlines for the first draft, final draft, and publication date in order for a successful publication. The submitted articles will be published on our Starfish journal - https://thestarfish.ca/journal/
Our Editorial Leadership Team at The Starfish Canada is here to support the student writers from day one of this internship with anything they need. Our main form of communication is through both email and our online Slack channel, Monday through Thursday, 9am to 4pm, EST.
