Do you feel connected to other providers in your area? If you’re open to sharing more, share in the comments, what’s made it hard or easy to build those connections?

-Yes, I have a strong network
-Somewhat, but I want more
-Not really
-Not at all

Licensed & Pre-Licensed Alliance Circle Members:

Just a reminder that Peer Supervision is happening tonight.

This is your space to:

Bring a case you’re wrestling with

Get perspective from trusted colleagues

Talk through ethical gray areas

Feel less alone in the hard stuff

You don’t have to have the perfect case presentation. You don’t even have to be “stuck.” Come to listen, reflect, and strengthen your clinical thinking.

These conversations are one of the most valuable parts of being in the Circle - real support, real collaboration, real growth.

See you tonight!

We’re looking forward to our April Provider Meet-Up with Heather Petty with Love and SONshine on Wednesday, April 8th at noon!

Heather will be sharing about the impactful work taking place within her maternity home for at-risk young moms and their babies, and how this support beautifully intersects with mental health.

These meet-ups are about more than just education. They’re about expanding our referral networks, strengthening collaboration, and continuing to build a truly connected mental health community in our region.

Lunch will be generously sponsored by Love and SONshine.

If you’re a provider in our area, we’d love to have you join us. Let’s keep bridging the gaps together.

As therapists and other mental health professionals, we often work with our clients in 60-minute increments. But the truth is, the quality of that hour depends on the strength of the network supporting the provider. 🤝✨

When we stay isolated, our resources are limited to what we already know. But when we come together, when we bridge the gaps between our practices, our towns, and our specialties, something powerful happens: Our clients win.

By joining us at Bridging the Gaps 2026 in Billings, you aren't just earning 10 CEUs. You are:

-Expanding your toolkit: Bringing fresh, evidence-based modalities back to your office on Monday morning.

-Shortening the referral path: Knowing exactly who to call when a client needs a level of care or a specialty you don't provide.

-Preventing burnout: Ensuring that you stay energized and present for the people who rely on your empathy and expertise.

Better care for Montana starts with a better-connected workforce. When we strengthen the "bridge," our clients are the ones who cross it toward healing.

If you could describe your current experience as a provider in ONE word… what would it be?

04/01/2026

I’d love to hear from those in this group who are NOT clinicians…

If you’re in a related field (medical, wellness, nonprofit, etc.), what kind of connections or collaboration with mental health providers would be most valuable to you?

Examples might include:

-referral relationships

-learning about mental health resources

-partnering on client care

-networking opportunities

What would be most helpful?

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I need to work on my practice… I just don’t have the time or structure to do it,” this is for you.

Our Quarterly Planning Lab is your dedicated space to step out of the day-to-day and actually focus on your business with intention.

This isn’t another passive training. It’s time set aside to:

Get clear on your goals for the next quarter

Identify what’s working (and what’s not)

Map out your next steps in a realistic, doable way

Think strategically about your practice instead of just reacting to it

Whether you’re feeling stuck, scattered, or ready to grow, this is where you create a plan you’ll actually follow.

Because your practice doesn’t grow by accident—it grows when you make space to work on it, not just in it.

Join us for today’s Quarterly Planning Lab and give yourself the clarity and direction you’ve been needing.

This event is exclusively for Circle members. Want to join us? Go to

Join The Alliance Circle - a professional membership for mental health providers to connect, consult, and grow through collaboration and community.

When you first became a mental health provider, what did you think this work would be like… and what has surprised you the most?

April is right around the corner, which means it’s time for our next Quarterly Goal-Setting Planning Lab.

Instead of letting the next few months just happen, take an hour to step back and plan them intentionally.

During this virtual one-hour session on April 1st, we’ll reflect on the past quarter, identify a few key priorities for the next one, and create simple, realistic steps to move forward.

No pressure. No overwhelming goal lists. Just a focused hour to think, plan, and reconnect with what matters most.

If you’ve been wanting a little more clarity and direction for the next few months, this is a great place to start.

This event is open to all Circle members. If you are not yet a member, come join us by going to www.ycmentalhealthalliance.com/circle
