Tips for approaching your future Interview with a Mental Health Professional

Ideally, you will select a mental health professional in your local area whom you can interview in person. However, if this is not possible, you may choose to select a mental health professional who is located in another city or state. Some students who live in remote areas may choose to contact state or national mental health-related organizations to find potential interviewees. Such organizations include:

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): https://www.nami.org/

Mental Health Treatment Facility Locator (SAMHSA-sponsored):https://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/MHTreatmentLocator/faces/addressSearch.jspx
Veterans Administration Hospitals Locator (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs): https://www.va.gov/directory/guide/home.asp?isflash=1
The Salvation Army's Harbor Light Centers Locator:https://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/harbor-lights
In that case, you would conduct a phone interview.
Ensure that the person you interview has a background in the disorder you are studying.
