[humanser] best practices

[Lisa Irving]

Hello All, 

 

 

I After a long absence from the workforce I am making efforts to reinvent
myself and return to my original vocational calling; serving older adults.
Eventually, I would like to begin working as a Recovery and Wellness
Educator for older adults living with mental illness/mental health
challenges. 

 

Although I have two undergraduate degrees and a couple of certificates I
consider myself a para professional. Due in part to my college degrees being
almost 30 years old. My certificate in gerontology is about twenty years
old. I have mixed feelings about pursuing higher education. On the other
hand, I have toyed with the idea of perhaps earning a graduate degree in
gerontology. Is anyone familiar with National University's online
Gerontology M. S. degree program? I've also toyed around with the notion of
getting different B. S. degree; perhaps a degree in Human Services as a case
worker. Meanwhile, I've got bills to pay and need to work. I welcome hearing
from you. 

 

 

Warmly,

Lisa Irving
