Hi, I am a 39yo in my senior year of undergrad in the US; with a focus in Psych. I am also earning the BHSS(Behavioral Health Support Specialist certificate in Washington State). It's like junior therapist or mental health EMT, meant to be a patch position until the client can be upgraded to a more senior therapist or for those with less detrimental support needs. I doubt there is a an equivalent in the UK, doesn’t hurt to ask. The role was created to try and staunch the hemorrhage we are experiencing regarding the Mental Health crisis.
US grad programs/degrees are more broad and are around 2-3 years. From my research, your system is quite different.
My spouse is a dual citizen and wishes
