Hi Everyone, currently looking to transition into the mental health field.

Hi Everyone, currently looking to transition into the mental health field.

I am currently a kindergarten teacher but I’m in a master’s program for mental health counseling. I’m looking to transition out of the classroom and do something in behavioral health. If that’s not possible I’d take something in education where I’m not in the classroom or maybe a position I can transition into that would go well with my experience. I have been teaching for the past 11 years and before that I worked in customer service for about 11 years. It would be great to find a remote position since I live out in the East Texas area. Any leads or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Look into counselor positions at colleges in the area. Normally they have such positions. Also look at trade/technical colleges, Universities, and finally High School counselor positions. That would get you out of the classroom but still lend your experience to a close fitting area of employment,

    Schools definitely need mental health counselors, but that's usually in person. If you want to work online, maybe apply to places like Better Help and other counseling services that are offered online. If you open your own private practice, you could possibly cater to teachers; since you know what teachers go through, you could be an excellent counselor for them.

    Not wanting to spend too much time comparing platforms, I searched for a quick solution. GamStop is fine, but I wanted a simpler overview. Then I came across https://climatica.org.uk/ . The site gives a clear overview without too much detail. I liked that it highlights the main benefits right away. Better bonuses and higher limits stand out. It’s easy to read and follow. Good for a quick look.

    Hi, I spent months getting my accounts flagged and losing my capital due to poor security and IP leaks. It was a total mess until I found https://hartviro-crypto.com Hartviro login which has perfect privacy tools for users in United Kingdom. After several failed attempts with standard proxies, I took a bigger risk on their secure system and finally secured a massive gain. It was a huge relief to see everything working smoothly. You should definitely check it out.
