My educational goal is to receive a Bachelors Degree in Behavioral Health and Human Services. This will help me with my career goal of becoming an Intensive Case Manager for individuals with mental health challenges. As I think about my educational goals I realize that‚ up until three years ago‚ I never even thought about furthering my education.
