In this special live Behavioral Health Integration live episode I have two amazing special guest's Eric Nance and Justin Coates. In this episode we will dive into many important mental health and substance abuse career related discussions. In this live episode we will get into the pros and cons of the mental health addiction field. We will bring up topics around the professional concerns for the future of the behavioral health field as well as what are we optimistic about. We will get into discussions about each other's career paths and where we got to where we are today. Also for graduate students or future graduate students what are the different career paths or graduate programs they can enter. Information on special guest Justin Justin is a Licensed Professional Counselor, with certifications as a Family Trauma and Addictions-Informed Mental Health Professional. Justin currently provides therapy, consultation, parenting assessments, as well as parent education trainings. Recently, Justin began his doctoral program with the hopes of becoming a licensed psychologist, as well creating a mental health hub in the Greater Saint Peter area.  Information on special guest Eric I'm on a mission to keep our Social Service supervisee's in the field and thriving. Far too little emphasis is placed on their well-being and experience. Unfortunately, these are the reasons they are not thriving in the field and, more importantly, the reasons less-and-less of young people seek this career path.
