How did you first get interested in the mental health profession?
Working as a Behavioral Consultant (early part of ABA career), I noticed that most behavior plans did not account for mental health needs. I found this to be damaging to the individual. It is my belief that in order for true behavior change, we need a wholistic approach to the issue, addressing the root cause.
