Topic 4 DQ 1
Review the website Indeed.com or any other website that contains job
listings and search for “behavioral health” jobs in your local area.
Choose at least two job listings to discuss. What are the minimum
requirements for these jobs? What are the roles and responsibilities
involved for each job? Would you be interested in these careers? Why
or why not?
Hello class and professor,
The first job listing I picked is for a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. The minimum
requirements are that you must hold a clinical license at a mater's level for
social work, have basic Microsoft and EMR systems experience, have good
communication skills, and experience working with people from other
specializations (Deer Oaks, 30+ days ago). The job description is that the
professional works together with other behavioral health professionals in a
long-term care center to give psychological treatment to improve their
client's life (Deer Oaks, 30+ days ago). The second job listing I picked is for a
Clinical Counselor. The minimum requirements are to have one of the
following licenses: LCSW, LMFT, LPC, or Licensed Clinical Psychologist
(Thriveworks, 17 days ago). The job description is that the professional
provides counseling to clients in telehealth and face-to-face sessions to help
clients be successful and happy (Thriveworks, 17 days ago).
I am interested in becoming a counselor as a stepping stone to becoming a
psychologist so the Clinical Counselor position definitely spiked some
interest. I personally do not think I could be a social worker, especially since
they work with more emotionally taxing issues like adopting or foster care or
neglect/abuse and getting people out of those situations. I think I would get
too burned out and take too much of it home with me.
