As our profession evolves and grows, mental health professionals grow more vulnerable and susceptible to misinformation and lack of support as they navigate the helping profession. In response to an ever-changing society, our work involves increasing access to mental health care through free counseling services, research, advocacy, and support for mental health professionals. One way we do this is bridging the gap for post-master’s and post-doctoral newly licensed professionals with quality training and support. We also seek to provide a safe space for all mental health professionals working to overcome stressful work environments, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma.
