A great way to get a start just in anywhere in the mental health field is working at a treatment center because there are a variety of different kinds of treatment centers that treat different things and cater to different like age groups of people and it's a great way to kind of narrow out like specifically who you want to work with and what you want to work with and also you're on the front lines you know you're in the trenches this is like seeing what what life is like for people outside of therapy because especially if you don't yet have a degree and you're in school which is what I'm doing you're able to like watch therapists do what they do and then kind of help therapists implement what they're trying to teach their clients in their daily life and it's just a really great way to get experience and there's just there's a lot of them out there you'll always have an opportunity.
