What Our Volunteers Say
“Not only has my time with VTMHI expedited my road to licensure, I have also gained confidence in working with a broader presentation of problems than experienced solely at my residency site.”
“I wish I had joined VTMHI sooner! I was more than 75 percent done with licensure hours (5 years in) at the time of joining and now VTMHI volunteering will reduce my timeline by at least 6-12 months.”
“I learned that it doesn’t really take much to make a difference. My 3 hours a week volunteering felt very meaningful and impactful to the patients I saw. It felt like I was really using my skills and education.”
“VTMHI provides an opportunity for us to invest back into our community. Along the way we get to meet other therapists, help each other get through residency, cheerlead each other to support our communities, learn from each other in group supervision and listen to different case presentations.”
