We are training and mobilizing the next generation of behavioral health leaders. All of our communities are impacted and the time for transformation is now.
As a behavioral health executive, I attend many meetings with decision makers focused on transforming mental and behavioral health at the state and national level. Unfortunately, a voice frequently missing from these conversations is that of students and young professionals.
I have made a commitment to help change that beginning with communities that are the most underserved. We are all impacted by mental health and we all have the ability to improve our future health and well-being.
Our team is launching a first of its kind fully remote internship opportunity that empowers students to help inform themselves and radically transform the current makeup of the mental and behavioral health workforce for the benefit of all.
This project places the perspective of college students at the center and uses this to define and redefine what the future of mental and behavioral health will be.
