Considering A Career Pivot?

For years now, there has been a dramatic shortage of therapists in the field. Waiting lists at agencies are far too long, and folks in emotional pain need to wait, sometimes for weeks or even months, to receive necessary care. What an inspiration it was to speak with Dr. Brooke Stroud, Dan Duane and Karey Swartwout on Social Work Talks. All three made the decision, mid-life and mid-career, to train to become therapists. The conversation continues to stay with me and I am optimistic that we might reach some listeners who find enough inspiration to join us and enter this meaningful profession.
