I'm always helping people who have mental conditions. It's hard to cope in this world without care and understanding. A lot of mentally ill patients have drug and alcohol problems. I understand how they feel I am in the same boat . I've been going to Southern Hampshire University close to 3 years. Two people came up to me and told me you need to be a mental health technician you be good at it. Because you understand and you you always go out of your way to help others.

it depends on areas/cities/states. some hospitals have mental health workers instead of MHT to get around certification

This video is really informative. Thank you! I also watched your clip talking about the mental health worker position, and it led me to wonder if mental health workers and mental health technicians share exactly the same responsibilities to the degree that they can be used interchangeably. Or, is there any subtle difference between workers and technicians in terms of their expected roles/responsibilities/tasks? I’ve been applying to positions labeled MHW and MHT, so I would like to know whether they are entirely identical or dissimilar to one another in some aspects.

It's really depending on the state and county. For areas that have shortage of mental health employees, they would have mental health workers instead. Honestly, I do almost the same as MHT except helping out w/ the meds stuffs, the RN/LVN take care of thoses. You do get more training if you are MHT though. MHW, you just get throw in and learn on the job and have RN/LVN supervise you.

@@JohnPhamHealth Thanks very much! I was talking about the US in general. I’ve also seen positions named “mental health therapy aide”, “psychiatric technician”, “psychiatric care technician”, and “behavioral health technician”, which all seemed to have similar/same expectations. Can I assume that they are basically the same jobs but only have different names for the position?

@@wontacklim8424 each focuses specific type of mental health patients that you will be working/helping w/. For example, "behavior health tech" - it could be applied behavior analyst (ABA therapy) - focuses on autism spectrum patients. I did work in this unit since I do have exp w/ ABA. My unit was called DDMI -which have kids who are struggle with mental diagnosis issues and are on autism spectrums. Some mental health units are more focus on clinicals while others about eating disorder or depression. I recommend you look into their job description or ask more about the job during your interview. You can also be a floater too where you float between units and learn. Some units will require more experience and training than others.

Honestly, I don't know about other state requirements. However, for California, you do need a LVN (2-3 years) or RN (4 years) license to work as a nurse in a psychiatric ward. A bachelor and license are different thing. You can try to see if they accept your past school, but most places want in country education for nursing experience/training.
