The Virginia Telemental Health Initiative (VTMHI) matches pre-licensed mental health providers in the process of completing licensure with a clinical supervisor to achieve needed patient contact hours while providing pro-bono services to patients of participating free and charitable clinics. This structure aims to accelerate the path to licensure and give providers invaluable experience serving people of different backgrounds in need of mental health services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VTMHI will host a volunteer info session on Tuesday, June 4 at 5:30 p.m. Register to attend here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
