Do I need to be a licensed mental health professional?
No. YCMHA membership is open to a variety of professionals and organizations connected to mental health, wellness, healthcare, education, social services, and community support.
Is membership required to attend YCMHA’s monthly meet-ups?
No. Our monthly meet-ups will continue to be open to the wider community. Members receive additional benefits, including reduced continuing education fees.
How long does membership last?
Membership is valid for one year from the date you join.
Will my membership renew automatically?
Yes, memberships automatically renew annually unless canceled before the renewal date.
Does membership mean YCMHA endorses my services?
No. Directory inclusion indicates that an individual or organization is a current YCMHA member. It does not represent an endorsement, credential verification, or guarantee of services.
What happens after I join?
You will receive a welcome email with information about your member benefits, directory listing, membership badge, upcoming events, and how to register using your member benefits.
Is membership the same as joining the Montana Circle?
No. YCMHA is a Yellowstone County–focused, interdisciplinary alliance for professionals and organizations connected to mental health and wellness. The Montana Circle is a separate statewide membership community created specifically for licensed and prelicensed mental health clinicians, although Circle Members are automatically YCMHA members.
Exclusive Offer for Clinicians
Doors close September 15th and won't reopen until 2027!
Looking for more than an Alliance membership?
If you’re a licensed or prelicensed mental health clinician in Montana, the Montana Circle gives you everything included with your YCMHA membership and so much more.
The Circle is a statewide community created specifically for clinicians who want deeper connection, ongoing support, stronger referral relationships, and a place to grow alongside other therapists who understand the work.
As a Circle member, you’ll automatically receive all YCMHA member benefits, plus access to Circle-exclusive opportunities like peer consultation, CEO Power Hour, roundtable discussions, networking events, and other clinician-focused gatherings throughout the year.
No need to join both! Your Circle membership includes your Alliance membership.
If you’re a clinician looking for more connection, collaboration, and community, the Circle may be the better fit for you.
