I worked as a Connections Specialist Intern this past semester under Faith and Alan’s
guidance. Although the internship was remote due to COVID-19, the knowledge and
experience I gained working at MHACF is something I will forever be grateful for. Faith
and Alan were incredibly helpful, both with internship related topics, and more
personal advice about graduate school and working in the mental health field. This
internship has given me confidence in knowing more about the mental health field and
the amazing amount of resources available for people in need. As I plan to become a
mental health counselor, I will look back on all that I learned about mental health
services during this internship. Interacting with clients and providers was a great way
to improve professional communication skills and learn more about the
“behind-the-scenes” of the industry that will be helpful to know going forward. I want
to say thank you to everyone at MHACF for all that you do, and especially to Alan and
Faith for all of your help along the way.

I am so grateful for this clinic and to Jeffery. When I first reached out for help I was in a desperate point in my life and mental illness controlled me to the point of despair. I was completely hopeless. He helped me confront my past trauma and anxieties and over time I grew into a completely different person. When I look back at how much I changed it baffles me. This service is nothing short of a miracle and today I am able to live in society and take chances in my life, something I never thought was even possible. Thank you so much for taking the time with me and helping me continue to grow.
