Behavioral Health Internship Program (BHIP)
Our Behavioral Health Internship Program offers field practicum experience to individuals pursuing behavioral health degrees. Through our current internship program, master’s level interns gain hands on experience through direct practice, apply up to date practices and approaches taught by different universities, community partners and county trainers, to provide quality mental health services in a community mental health setting.
