Expanding Access. Developing Counselors. Strengthening Organizations.

Building counseling internship programs for community organizations to expand access to mental health care.

Helping organizations INCREASE impact

Expanding Access

We help schools, nonprofits, and community health agencies expand access to affordable mental-health care through structured, internship-based counseling programs. By integrating counseling students into community settings, we bridge service gaps and bring quality care to more individuals and families.

Developing Counselors

We increase training opportunities for counseling interns by helping organizations become approved internship sites in partnership with universities. This work addresses the growing shortage of internship placements while developing the next generation of competent, well-trained counselors.

Strengthening Organizations

We equip organizations with sustainable systems and clinical supervision frameworks to launch new counseling services or enhance existing ones. Strengthening organizational infrastructure and building long-term capacity to deliver consistent, high-quality mental-health care.
