What would I have to major in during college in order to work in a crisis center/mental health center?Thanks for the help. I'm interested in working in a mental health/crisis center.

Answer by Bill
Virtually anything for undergrad, however psychology is a popular choice. Then a masters in counseling or social work. Those 3+2 combined degrees would be a good way to do it eg:
http://www.wooster.edu/academics/pre-professional.php
'Students who wish to combine a liberal arts education with a social work professional degree have an opportunity to participate in a 3-2 program that leads to a graduate degree in an accredited school of social work. The College of Wooster is one of a select group of schools cooperating with the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University. Under this program, a student would complete three years of liberal arts education at Wooster and then transfer into a two-year social work program at Case Western Reserve University. The Bachelor's Degree will be granted by The College of Wooster when the student has earned 30 semester hours of credit through the School of Applied Social Sciences.'

Thanks
