Richmont students on the Chattanooga campus recently prepared to begin the internship phase of their education. Moving from the classroom into clinical settings and beginning to work directly with clients is a significant milestone, and we are excited to support our interns alongside their internship site supervisors through this journey.

We are thankful for the internship sites and community partners who participated and continue to collaborate with Richmont as we work to strengthen the counseling community.

Richmont alumni attended the Mental Health in Missions Conference in Dallas Texas, learning to serve those in missions and cross cultural work. This is a hallmark of Richmont Trauma Center's mission and part of the Center for Global Fieldworkers - a subset of clinicians who specialize in helping helpers - particularly those in international ministry work. The Richmont Trauma Center also attended the Noonday Resource fair in Marietta to connect with other front line trauma-informed agencies and churches to find ways to partner, help Richmont interns build case loads, and be a blessing to the community.
