Career Fair in London, OH
BHWET recently held a Mental Health Careers Fair at London Middle school that educated students on paths into the mental health field. Our team brought experts from Clinical Mental Health Counseling, School Counseling, School Psychology, Clinical Psychology, and Psychiatry to speak to over 200 middle school and high school students. Each student was able to engage in interactive activities unique to each profession including the WAISC intelligence test, breathing techniques for stress and anxiety, processing speed activities, and goal setting activities.
Participating students were able to speak about their interest in mental health fields and how mental health skills can be transferred into any career!
