My main pet peeve about this field- and I think I mentioned this in my first episode too- is the low pay for what we actually do.
Ever wondered what it's like to work in the behavioral health field? This episode of the Behavioral Health Integration podcast dives into the nitty-gritty of career outlooks for roles like chemical dependency technicians, group home workers, and licensed alcohol drug counselors (LADCs). Hosted by Jacob Minnig, the conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics, especially the issue of low pay.
Minnig shares his frustrations with the salary disparities in the mental health and addiction sectors, comparing them to other professions requiring similar education and experience. He also discusses the rigorous process of becoming an LADC or an LPCC, highlighting the financial and emotional toll it can take. The episode sheds light on how these low salaries not only create stressful work environments but can also negatively impact the quality of care provided to patients.
If you're curious about the behind-the-scenes challenges faced by those in this vital field, this episode is a must-listen.
