Healthy Minds Alliance - Iowa City, Iowa

The Healthy Minds Alliance is an innovative AmeriCorps program that takes a community-based approach to the mental health crisis by utilizing evidence-based/ informed programs in diverse communities across the nation. There is a sense of urgency in our nation to improve awareness, recognition, and ability to respond to the needs of those experiencing symptoms of mental illness.

Healthy Minds Alliance places AmeriCorps members at local crisis call centers across the nation after the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline shifted to the 3-digit number 988. During their 10-month service term, AmeriCorps Members are trained in the mental health intervention identified by the local crisis call center. Note: This is a remote service position with a full-time service requirement (40 hours per week for the 10-month service term). In addition to the AmeriCorps application, please email an updated resume to Julia Puzone at puzone@health360.org. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
