Week 11 Discussion – TA
Behavioral Health leadership and Management in Varied Settings
As we wrap up this course, it would be helpful for you to engage in some reflection and discussion about how you can apply the skills and information learned in this course to different types of behavioral health settings. The unique challenges and rewards of being a manager or leader in behavioral health care might vary depending on whether you work in for-profit, nonprofit, or governmental settings. To get a better understanding for where you might fit best, it is a good idea to learn from people working in different behavioral health settings.
For this week’s Discussion, you will interview a leader in a behavioral health care setting of your choosing, and share what you have learned in the Discussion forum.
