Hey family! I hope you enjoy this video! During my time as a mental health technician I noticed these tips really helped both myself & fellow coworkers to stay grounded! I hope they help you as well. Thanks so much for watching! Much love!
Hello Falicia. Army reserve medic here wanting to commission into the Ari Force as a nurse. I’m currently a psych nurse. I am wondering if you have any insight on what nursing in the Air Force is like. I noted that you are a tech but being that you are medical and in psych with Army experience. I am wondering if you have any insight. There is very little information out there on psych nursing. And I refuse to just go with the recruiter says… learned that from experience with the Army 😂. Great information btw. Thanks for all you do!!
Hi- what can I expect for the day to day responsibilities for this job? I have bachelors in psych and am looking to enlist in the Airforce. I'm wanting to be a licensed therapist and thought this would be a good foot in the door. Any advice?
Hey! It depends on if you get stationed at an inpatient vs outpatient unit (hospital vs clinic). On the inpatient side we worked Panama shifts (12 hrs rotating days/nights). On the outpatient side you typically work M-F (730-430). To me inpatient was more hands on and provided me a lot of opportunities to develop myself in the mental health world. Outpatient was nice too if you plan on going to an in person brick and mortar program for your masters. I got my Masters degree in psych while working inpatient. And actually used a lot of what I learned to develop my curriculum I taught on the unit. Either one I believe you would enjoy because you have the experience in the world of psychology /mental health already. Hope this helps. And best wishes on your journey! 🫶🏾
During my time we mainly wore our uniform. However, some hospitals they wear scrubs. We did test our scrubs for a period but phased back into our uniforms eventually.
Civilian here and I’m looking up tips and anything related to mental health tech. I love the job so much and I am jealous of anyone in the Air Force lol. I’m always encouraging anyone who wants to join the military to join Air Force.
Thank you for watching! I absolutely loved the job and my time in the AF overall. It’s definitely a rewarding job to be able to help people in such vulnerable times! ❤️

Thanks for these tips, I’ve been a MHT in the AF for a little over a year now and it can be a little over whelming at times
You are so welcome. How is it going for you now? I hope things have gotten better in one way or the other.
Quit being a detention officer last year to become a behavioral health technician best decision I ever made…….
Congratulations!!!! I love to hear that!! I’m sending you lots of love and positive energy on your new journey! ❤️

Do you guys wear scrubs or your OCP’s?
