Have you looked at the psych services at a nearby VA facility?

Local community mental health centers are usually always hiring BA/BS-level case managers. Psych hospitals are also looking for BA/BS-level mental health aids on a pretty frequent basis. I recommend looking into those places, as they also can be good resource for finding an entry-level job when you graduate.

I am in Vermont, and finished my MA in CMHC a few years ago. That was my path (mental health aid, and then community mental health post-grad), and I was able to get all of my required licensure hours in just under a year and a half. So, when I applied after two years it was no problem.

Also, where are you doing your internship(s)?

Contact me if you have any questions.
