Why did you choose to do your internship at CVCH?

I chose to do my internship at CVCH because of the close knit, authentic work environment it offers. Moreover, the opportunity to serve a large community of Spanish speakers is something I am passionate about and align with at CVCH. Lastly, the biopsychospiritual model was a strength that enticed me as I believe it will take my integrated behavioral health experience to the next level.
