Mental Health Tech

Where insight and support strengthen every level of care.

UNM Hospital is the largest community mental health provider in the state of New Mexico. The Psychiatric Center treats both adults and children and provides a wide variety of services including, but not limited to: Addiction/Recovery, Forensics, Senior Programs, Native American Programs and Psychosocial Rehabilitation. While you build your career at UNMH, we'll help you excel with ample training and learning opportunities. After all, you're helping care for people throughout our community, state and region.

At UNMH, you'll find a world-class care environment that will bring out the best in you. Here, we treat everyone with respect. We listen to our patients, anticipate their needs and make everyone feel welcome.

Because we work at a teaching hospital, we keep our skills fresh, learn from our mistakes, are thorough and accurate and open to change. We're also able to think about the big picture without losing sight of the smallest detail.

Mental health awareness is important because of the scarcity of mental health resources in our community and the stigma that's often attached to these diagnosis and experiences.
