Thank you! I'm just starting my education to become a Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant, and your video was very inspiring.

wow I thought that social workers where the ones that dealt with this stuff. I'm interested in this career because it combines not only therapy but a variety of other different things such as cooking and art as activities to help people's mental health. Good Job, and as they say in the orchestra Bravo!

This is awesome---I'm finishing my degree (FW2) and want to work in mental health. There's so few jobs in this area though!!

Most community-based mental heath programs receive funding so that they are free for participants. (From the Department of Mental Health, private institutions, etc).
