The Washburn Experience
Washburn Center’s entire staff rallies for advocacy at the Minnesota State Capitol each year for Mental Health Day on the Hill.

Staff spotlight

Washburn Center’s employees transform communities. We are solely focused on making sure kids and families get access to quality mental health care — when and where they need it.

School-based Supervisor Bonnie Brunette is changing how kids and families approach the ups and downs of their mental health journeys, while “helping the helpers” do even more for Minnesota’s scholars right in their living and learning environments.

You are the future of our mission.

We are driven to be bold and make things happen so that more children live into their full potential and families thrive. To do that, we value internships and professional development that creates opportunities for students and early career professionals. Our programs are structured to give you life-changing experiences, industry-leading supervision and development of clinical knowledge. 

“Washburn Center offers incredible opportunities for interns to grow and feel supported in that growth. I appreciate the active efforts to meet the needs of the organizational community and all the communities we serve. Washburn Center is a bright light of a non-profit, and a bright light for the Twin Cities.”
