THERE’S A TREMENDOUS NEED FOR PRACTITIONERS IN MANY FIELDS RELATED TO BEHAVIORAL CARE, SUCH AS PSYCHIATRIC NURSING, CHILD PSYCHIATRY, SOCIAL WORK, COUNSELING AND PEER SUPPORT. THAT’S ACCORDING TO WAYNE LINDSTROM, DIRECTOR OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES DIVISION IN NEW MEXICO.
TO HELP GET MORE STUDENTS TO CONSIDER CAREERS IN THOSE FIELDS, THERE IS A WORKFORCE FORUM THIS COMING SATURDAY, THE 14TH, AT THE DOMENICI EDUCATION CENTER ON THE CAMPUS OF U-N-M. THE EVENT STARTS AT 1PM. IT’S OPEN TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM ACROSS THE STATE.
