The TeleMental Health Institute (TMHI) Scholarship program is a Work/Study professional training opportunity for professionals, interns and students seeking telemental health training (telepsychiatry, telepsychology, distance counseling, online therapy, speech teletherapy, online counseling, online counselling, e-therapy, etc.). If you can demonstrate financial need, we are happy to make our resources available to you in our Work/Study program.
If you are in these or similar circumstances, the TMHI Work/Study program has been designed with you in mind:
TMHI is a fast-growing, online company with many administrative and organizational needs. Work/Study is to the TMHI Advanced Certificate Program (62 training hours) in exchange for administrative work for the Institute (210 hours). Scholarly tasks involve a variety of tasks that can be accomplished at one’s computer (i.e., social media, social bookmarking, SEO, research, data entry, formatting, minor programming, marketing, press release writing) and attending monthly TMHI Scholar meetings by telephone/video.
We are delighted to engage bright, capable and eager Scholars to help us grow. Since 2009, we have graduated dozens of Work/Study scholars who have formed an interactive Scholar community. Our Work/Study program then, is for individuals who not only have the circumstances outlined above, but also have most of these characteristics and abilities:
Scholar applicants must be able clearly express a financial need that precludes their ability to pay for telemental health professional training offered by the TeleMental Health Institute. TMHI Scholars must be in a position to commit a minimum of 10 hours per week, complete daily reports of work accomplished and receive a 1099 for their work to be in accord with IRS reporting rules for work/study opportunities.
