Be a Mentor

Mentorship is such an important part of career development in any field. MESF would like to connect students and early career professionals with mentors. You do not need to be in Milwaukee or even Wisconsin to have a mentor or to volunteer to be a mentor. If you are interested in being matched with a mentor or volunteering to be a mentor, please submit your name and email below and someone from MESF will contact you to help facilitate this process. In order to qualify to be a mentor, you must hold a license in some area of mental health. Additionally, your license must be in good standing without any current or previous disciplinary actions. Retired mental health professionals who may have an inactive license are also welcome to participate.
