Advantage Behavioral Health Systems

“The opportunity to work alongside individuals with severe and persistent mental illness has taught me so much not only about myself as a social worker in the making, but about the policies surrounding financial assistance like disability and medicare/medicaid and about the stigma surrounding mental health. Through this internship I have developed key social work skills as I advocate on behalf of my clients, teach essential social/interpersonal, independent living, and emotion regulation skills, and perform rigorous research on mental health. ”
