Not sure how old you are but I am 61 and have been in the field nearly 30 years and plan to work until IM at least 95. You're never too old in this field

I do some work in a community mental health setting, and I tend to be positive and strength based with my clients.

>> Hello to All,
>> I have just joined this list and would like to introduce myself. |I am an American studying Positive Psychotherapy, a new branch of psychotherapy known mainly in Europe and Asia, in Kosovo. I am in my last semester of classwork for a Master's degree in this field. I am blind and look forward to sharing ideas and thoughts with other human services workers. Beginning in September I will be facilitating a psychotherapy and mental health maintenance group for teenaged students at the Kosovo school for the blind and helping them start a music program to prepare students to enter the music program at the university in Pristina, the capital of Kosovo. I am 62 years old anhd in my day the schools for the blind gave no attention to teaching us how to maintain our mental health. I believe that this lack has actually led to many blind people dying well before their time. I want to specialize in helping blind and disabled people to maintain or restore mental health. I very much look forward to sharing ideas with all of you.
