Frequently Asked Questions

Founding Members are the very first to join The Alliance Circle and play an important role in shaping its future. As a Founding Member, you’ll lock in the introductory rate of $20/month or $200/year (clinical professionals) or $15/month or $150 (non-clinical professionals) for two full years, even after prices increase for future members. You’ll also get first access to all Circle events, the opportunity to share feedback that helps shape programming, and the satisfaction of knowing you were part of building a community that supports and strengthens mental health providers across Montana from the very beginning.

A peer consultation group is a confidential, collaborative space where licensed mental health providers come together to discuss clinical cases, ethical dilemmas, and professional challenges. Unlike supervision, consultation is non-hierarchical — everyone brings their own expertise, insight, and perspective. It’s a supportive way to gain feedback, prevent burnout, strengthen clinical judgment, and connect with other professionals who truly understand the work.

Because these conversations involve client information, clinical decision-making, and ethical considerations, peer consultation groups are limited to licensed clinicians only. This helps protect confidentiality, maintain ethical standards, and ensure that discussions stay rooted in therapeutic scope of practice.

As The Alliance Circle grows, I plan to introduce special interest consultation groups for those with shared roles or specialties — like group practice owners, supervisors, and clinicians who focus on couples or family work. These smaller, focused groups will allow members to dive deeper into their niche, share resources, and support one another in more specialized areas of practice.

Absolutely! The Alliance Circle now includes an Allied Professional membership for consultants, coaches, advocates, wellness professionals, and others who support the mental health field.

Allied members receive access to our Think Tanks, quarterly goal-setting sessions, networking events, and the public directory, and they are full participants in the Circle’s community.

The only difference? To protect ethical standards and confidentiality, clinical peer consultation groups are reserved for licensed mental health providers only.

If your work supports or intersects with mental health care — practice consulting, business systems, marketing, wellness services, advocacy, or community support — you’re more than welcome here.
