The behavioral health field covers a variety of career paths and student interest areas including psychology, counseling, mental health, therapy, social work, suicide prevention and many more. It is also a dynamic career field with a high need and multiple entry points. Oregon has a high demand for mental health services and ranks very low compared to other states in the nation in terms of services available. A recent report by Mental Health America shows Oregon is ranked 50th out of 51 States and District of Columbia. Job opportunities in this field include entry-level positions through continuing education with certificate programs from community colleges, 4-year degree paths and masters level coursework. Students will have the opportunity to earn industry certifications as appropriate, possibly including Mental Health First Aid and Assist Training.
