Mentored Internship Program

About Us

The Mentored Internship Program (MIP) is an opportunity for UC Merced undergraduate students who are interested in behavioral health and want to gain real-world experience while still in school. Launched in 2022, in collaboration with Merced County Behavioral Health & Recovery Services (BHRS), and UC Merced, this program helps students dive into mental health, substance abuse, and social work through hands-on experience.
