BMHA Nashville is dedicated to supporting the mental health needs of our community. Unfortunately, access to mental health care can be challenging, particularly for those who are looking for a provider who is culturally competent and reflects their own identity. This is why BMHA Nashville has created a bridge form to connect aspiring mental health professionals with mentors, internships, and supervision opportunities. If you are working towards a career in mental and behavioral healthcare, or if you are looking for a mentor, internship, or supervision, or if you are a licensed mental health professional who is willing to provide mentorship, internship, or supervision, we encourage you to fill out this form to get connected.
