Degree consideration
 

I believe that the degree fields of Sociology and Criminal Justice should be included in the degrees eligible for a QMHP.  Without these graduates in our field we would be doing a disservice to our clients/consumers.  They provide valuable input and understanding of the issues that our clients often face.  Having an undergraduate degree in Sociology helped guide me to a successful clinician and social worker.  Thank you for considering.
