Such training usually comes in the form of certificate. Both programs generally require applicants to have a high school diploma and volunteer work can put you ahead of the competition. Now let's learn more about these programs. Certificates in Behavioral Health A certificate program of behavioral health provides students with a basic overview of the field and trains students to assist people with social, personal, mental health or family problems. Such a program is designed to prepare future behavioral health technicians, case managers and family services advocates. Students enrolled in the program learn the basics of group and individual counseling, child advocacy, case report writing and communication skills. Core courses are generally divided into theory, practical training and experiences in service learning. Some course topics may include: Introduction to human relations Ethical counseling Child and family advocacy Therapeutic intervention Case report writing Violence and abuse issues Career Information Graduates of our certificate programs in behavioral health go on to work as behavioral health technicians, also known as psychiatric technicians, in a variety of settings. These professionals often work in county or city health departments, mental health clinics, inpatient facilities and community counseling services. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for psychiatric technicians was expected to increase by 5% between 2014 and 2024. This is an average rate of employment growth compared to other professions in the nation. As of May 2015, these technicians earned an average salary of $36,280 per year. Those in specialty industries, such as substance abuse and psychiatric hospitals, earned the highest average salary for such technicians, at $48,460 per year. Certification Keep in mind that behavioral health technicians may increase their employment opportunities and salary potential by earning professional certification. For example, the state of Florida offers the Certified Behavioral Health Technician credential to those who pass an exam. Our program helps you obtain the coursework, the certification, exam prep, and verified experience through our network of facilities and agencies in the mental health and behavioral fields.   Read more
