Community Outreach Specialist (Internship)

We're offering a Maryland-based summer internship as a Community Outreach Specialist to build awareness of Cabana across Maryland, working with primary care practices, behavioral health providers, emergency departments, and urgent care centers. This is a field-based, relationship-driven role—ideal for someone looking to gain hands-on experience at the intersection of healthcare, community engagement, and mental health access.

About Cabana

Cabana is a mental health company providing support so no one struggles in silence. Through our products, we help health plans, employers, and state agencies improve mental health access and affordability across the communities they serve. We've been recognized in Fast Company for our World Changing approach to mental health access, identified as a top behavioral health product by Avia Health, and selected by the VA as an innovative approach in national efforts around suicide prevention.

Description

Cabana provides confidential mental health support for real, everyday challenges—giving people a place to start before things escalate and without the barriers of traditional care. We partner with health plans such as the Johns Hopkins U.S. Family Health Plan to offer no-cost support to TRICARE Prime members and their families. 

Cabana is used for common challenges like stress, anxiety, sleep, relationships, and big life transitions—whether they want to talk, listen, or take a few minutes to reset. Used by the VA, National Guard, and leading health systems, Cabana gives people a place to start without pressure, labels, or long wait times.
