Pros
- allows you to work within the mental health industry - Gives you exposure to insurance, EAPs, benefits from different companies - 1 hour for lunch as a salaried employee - Gives you OT opportunities (at times throughout) the quarter
Cons
- Major gaps in professional support and training: none of the training are done by certified mental health professionals, large gaps of knowledge are missed, clients are later impacted. - Lack of professional development: once you're in a role with LH, there isn't anywhere else to go. Leadership will post "training" opportunities, but there is never any concrete assurance that there'd be an open role within that developing team. - Poor recruitment strategies: We hear from many of our clients that they do not have any mental health providers in their ENTIRE STATE. Other than refer them, yes the client themselves reach out and tell providers to onboard, the LH recruiting team is very lax and does nothing to advance better mental health offerings in rural areas and in rural states. - Lack of support staff/mental health trained staff.
