So I feel like starting y 'all as early as possible...when you're dealing with people's lives, you know things aren't always going to plan.
Ever wondered what it’s like to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world experience in mental health? In this eye-opening episode, social work intern Keely Hancock and her supervisor Kelvin Jackson dive into the transformative journey offered by Community Healthcore's Behavioral Health Internship Academy. They share candid reflections on how their perceptions of mental health have evolved through hands-on experience compared to their academic training.
From the expectations set for incoming interns to the invaluable role of community resources, Keely and Kelvin paint a vivid picture of the daily realities in the mental health field. They stress the importance of early intervention and the flexibility needed to effectively support those with mental health challenges. Through their engaging conversation, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how this internship program is not just educating future professionals but also actively working to dismantle the stigma surrounding mental illness.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of education, mental health, and community support.
