Hey there FCS educator!
 
For those of you who teach Principles of Human Services you know just how fun this class is! I love that we get to expose our students to a variety of careers that strive to serve and educate those in our community. With this resource, students will be able to investigate career options that fall within the Counseling & Mental Health sector.
 
For my Texas teachers, this covers TEK 3 (G & H):  
G: describe rewards, demands, and future trends in counseling and mental health services
H: identify employment and entrepreneurial opportunities and preparation requirements in the areas of personal interest.
 
If you have access to textbooks, I highly recommend using Goodheart-Willcox's Principles of Human Services by Sharleen L. Kato. Careers can be found on pg. 257.
 
If you don't have a textbook for this class or would rather go digital, the following website works perfectly with this investigation:
 
Counseling & Mental Health Careers
 
Careers can include:
 
Child Life Specialist
Marriage & Family Therapist
Mental Health Counselor
Psychiatrist
Clinical Psychologist 
Counseling Psychologist
School Psychologist
Rehabilitation Counselor
School Counselor
Substance Abuse Counselor
Therapist
Vocational Counselor
 
For an extension activity, you can group your students and have them create infographics based on the investigation information.
 
Once you download, you'll receive a Google Drive Folder containing the editable career investigation guide as well as a set of 13 editable slides that provide pacing for the entire lesson. Slides include a warm-up, discussion, description of the task, and step-by-step instructions with timers as well as a lesson closure.
 
❤️ You will LOVE using this lesson because of how seamless and easy it is to implement - it's ready to teach! Your students will also appreciate the opportunity to discover and learn more about career options available to them within the mental health sector.
