We launched Mindoula because each of us has had personal experience with mental illness, either directly or through a loved one.
We realized that the behavioral health system was broken and decided to take it upon ourselves to fix it by focusing on the people we serve, not their diagnoses or symptom sets.
Each of us, and everyone we serve, is a person first, and a set of challenges second.
Come be part of the solution!

Market context
Behavioral-health roles in Tennessee are often tied to schools, community programs, and outpatient settings serving children and adolescents, so employers usually look for candidates with direct youth mental-health experience. This type of role can be competitive because the posting asks for a specific degree-and-experience mix, plus prior work with children and adolescents; the listed requirements and benefits are AI-summarized from the original job description to save you research time. Before applying, match your resume to the exact experience path and highlight any youth-focused interventions, crisis support, or family engagement work.
