Behavioral Health

Behavioral health is a fulfilling career for those who find purpose in addressing and strengthening mental health. For those who know the profound impact of substance misuse, anxiety, depression, and trauma, behavioral health is a rewarding career. Social workers value developing strong relationships and sharing healing journeys by providing support and facilitating change during life’s biggest challenges. Social workers are pivotal to ensuring access to behavioral care across all age groups, from very young to nicely aged. Social workers who provide behavioral health care are often called therapists or counselors. Practice arenas often include counseling agencies, community centers, schools, private practice, healthcare, law enforcement, victim advocacy, and so much more. The broad utility and encompassing, holistic nature of the acquired skillset intersects with every social work practice arena.
