CMH with kids (5-12) - crash course/would you?
Looking at applying for a temp that includes this age group. I’ve only ever worked with adults (or older teens) as an outpatient therapist in CMH.
I’m being encouraged to apply anyway, but:
- don’t know if I WANT to do this work (and then again, don’t have much to compare it to)
And
- don’t know what I’d be doing.
Not sure if I’d be doing something dumb by giving it a shot (or, again, if I want to?!) but would love fresh perspectives. I’ve been at my current role and location for 8 years so a 1 year temp seems like a good way to shake things up, in theory?
Anyone get thrown into work with younger kids and love it? What did you find helpful?
