Anne Arundel County’s multi-year effort to transform the former Crownsville Hospital into a space that promotes healing, wellness, and generational change is advancing through a new educational partnership. Gaudenzia, a nonprofit that serves those in need of treatment for substance use and co-occurring disorders, and Bowie State University are collaborating on the Gaudenzia Crownsville Campus Internship Program following a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Designed for counseling, psychology, nursing, social work, and criminal justice majors, the internship is a rare, multidisciplinary experience in which interns are immersed in trauma-informed care. The program heavily emphasizes mission-based learning and multidisciplinary collaboration, backed by high-touch mentorship and crucial hands-on experience with justice-involved populations across the full continuum of care. For counties across Maryland, the Gaudenzia Crownsville Campus Internship Program highlights how local governments can align workforce development, behavioral health services, and higher education to address complex community needs.
