What kind of jobs can you get in mental health?Thinking of working in mental health but I don't know a great deal about it! Is it good pay too?

Answer by Dragonfly
Laura, generally you don't get into mental health for the money!

But the field is incredibly diverse.
You may end up working as a counsellor, mental health worker, support worker, caseworker, psychologist or psychiatrist -- they get paid heaps after years and years of study (they better!)

You may end up working with kids, adolescents, adults, families, couples, criminal offenders, people dealing with drugs/alcohol.

No day will be the same, and if you are a compassionate person you'll like the work you do.
Decide what sort of mental health area interests you most and then research away...
