Mental Health Expose Letters
Hello Ms. Johnson,

It was a pleasure to meet you today at the Mental Health Expose'. It was an awesome experience to hear professionals, as yourself, speak about issues that I have done researched and read about.

We talked about my desire to get experience in the mental health field. I am also looking for internship opportunities to gain experience while working on my master's in mental health counseling. I have some time before my fieldwork experience, but I am working towards meeting counselors who will agree to supervise me.

If you know of any opportunities, please let me know.

    I wasn’t sure what to expect from Dr. Piper as my faculty advisor. I had Dr. Piper as a professor for my first Argosy Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) course and was excited to meet with him in a nonacademic environment to discuss different aspects of becoming a mental health counselor. We coordinated convenient time and location for both of us to meet. The meeting was very informative and constructive for me. I was able to discuss my educational future and obtain a better understanding of CMHC process and how my tentative Argosy University CMHC educational plan correlated with the future trends of the counseling process.…

    Most college students spend countless hours trying to decide which major to choose; which major fits them the best. However, I had the unique blessing in having my major choose me. I believe that the field of psychology of chose me from a young age. People always feel very comfortable around me and open up to me. Whenever someone I know has an issue or they are feeling emotionally distressed, they outreach to me and we talk about what is bothering them.…

    I would like to start my Human Service work in a counseling position. I am a very good listener. I have people that love to come and talk to me about their problems or situations. I also help them to find better ways to express their thoughts and emotions when solving their problems. I am studying for my Associate Degree in Human Service at University of Phoenix. I chose this field because of a personal life experience I had at the age of nine. I also feel that I have the right attitude and personality for a counseling job. I am compassionate toward others and have empathy toward their problems. I know that these situations happen to the best of us. I am able to connect with others even if their experiences and mine differ greatly. I appreciate their own value in life and want to help them to overcome obstacles they encounter. I am tolerant of other’s view (and this was learned with life’s experience) and I am willing to share my own experiences to help other people be more comfortable with their own situation. I am generally very accepting of others and friendly toward people. I want to start by interning at Georgia’s Department of human resource in Atlanta to get the feel of the positions that I will be applying for in 2014. This internship will allow me to work directly with Social Workers, Case Managers and Therapists. I will put my positive personality and style to work for these companies and organizations by giving them a person that loves helping people. I have not met my qualifications of the jobs that I am applying for, so the experience I get will help greatly when I graduate in October 2013. I plan on continuing my education after I graduate and aim to get my Bachelor’s Degree, I understand that the Associate Degree may be me in the door, but a BA will keep me. I want to work in a team of faculty and employers and feel that I can help such a group increase their sense of community. I have even thought about going back to my hometown and helping my…

    Currently I am pursing an associate degree in Mental Health Technology. Though it is not absolutely necessary to have a degree to be in this field, those mental health facilities that are looking for individuals to become a part of their organization are going for prospects that have completed a two-year program or training from an accredited institution. This lets the employer know that the individual at least meets the minimum requirements and skills for the position they are interested in. An associate degree in MHT requires classes in mental health, general psychology, biology, intervention, substance and alcohol abuse, as well as numerous prerequisites and core curriculum.…

    Mental health awareness is an issue that has gained a following of advocates over recent years; however, most mental health advocates emphasize a division frame, which typically segregates depressed individuals from functioning in society even further. Many individuals living with depression are ostracized for their depressive behavior and thus are victimized due to their inability to be continually happy and integrate into social situations. Therefore, I challenge society to transform their rhetoric of mental health awareness by utilizing the identification frame, which will bring unity to tough social subjects such as depression. A good example of identification framing can be found in the Ted Talks video, “The taboo of…

    Brooks and Weikel (1986) traced the historical roots of mental health counseling back to the "moral treatment" of the mentally ill that was started by Philippe Pinel, director of the Bicetre (the largest mental hospital in Paris) in 1793. In 1952, The American Personnel and Guidance Association was created as an attempt to unite and provide counselors, who were now integrating mental health & vocational counseling, with a professional association (3). Mental Health Counseling…

    On November 18, 2012 at 1:00pm I interviewed Stephan Baldwin, a substance abuse counselor at Stephens Medical Hospital in Edmonds. The reason for this interview was for me to gather as much information in the substance abuse field as possible and the requirements needed for this type of position, and to expand my professional network. For a long time I have debated a career in business or psychology. If I chose psychology I would want to do something related to counseling, or even possibly be a psychiatrist. So I thought that interviewing someone in this position would help me understand if this was the kind of career I would be interested in.…
