Question by Tracy: What can I REALLY do with a B.A in Psychology?
I’m not sure if I want to to continue on to Grad school after I graduate this May. Some websites and similar questions yielded answers of “case worker”, “disabilities counselor”, “mental health aide”, etc, I am wondering
A) Where do you find these jobs?
B) Some specific job titles that I can look up.
C) What do I look up on job sites like monster.com?

You may be able to secure a position as a mental health tech at a hospital.

Try “mental health technician”, “Mental health aide”, “counselor”. Then weed through the results which allow bachelor’s level applicants.

Best of luck to you,

Yes,
Texas not adequately monitoring SAFP program

The Austin Chronicle says criticisms of the state’s Substance Abuse Felony Punishment (SAFP) program are falling on deaf legislative ears, airing complaints that female SAFP inmates are routinely called misogynist names and allegedly subject to tortuous treatment methods, citing a Nov. 13 Senate hearing that took limited testimony on the topic.

Earlier this year, following the initial reports of inmate charges, Whitmire’s committee announced that this interim hearing would focus on SAFPF procedures. But by August, specific mention of SAFPF had dropped off the hearing agenda. Asked why, a committee aide said: “There’s not enough evidence. … We’re not going to hold hearings based on your article” – or based on the growing pile of inmate testimonials, apparently.

Question by hydrovitae: How is this a “death panel”?
George Miller, Chairman of the Committee explains Section 1233, a section that was voted on and approved by Republicans in 2003. Almost exactly to the LETTER.

http://edlabor.house.gov/blog/2009/07/health-care-checkup-advance-pl.shtml

“The provision that opponents are alluding to is Section 1233. This bi-partisan provision would allow seniors, if they choose, to have an advanced care consultation with their doctor be paid for by Medicare once every five years, or more frequently if the patient has a life threatening disease. That is all. These consultations include “an explanation by the practitioner of the continuum of end-of-life services and supports available, including palliative care and hospice, and benefits for such services and supports that are available under this title.”

So, a Senior is told they’re about to die. They’re offered counselling. It’s called “Palliative Care.” People who hear they are terminally ill need grief counselling. The Democrats (shockingly) have reacted to the frantic, nonsensical outbursts by the wingnut “Death Panel” Yahoos and removed this section. Good work.
