Recruitment and Retention
Our Focus
The Recruitment and Retention Lab aims to
- Develop interventions to attract adolescents into mental health professions and teach career exploration skills and
- Explore and understand the barriers and facilitators to job retention in mental health professions.
Projects
Student participants lead booths tailored toward 5 mental health fields: School Counseling, School Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and Psychiatry. Each booth is designed to be interactive, where student attendees are able to have a "hands-on learning experience." Our next Career Fair will be at Tipp City High School on Friday, November 15th.
We are conducting research on the Barriers and Facilitators of job retention in mental health professions in the Southwest and Central regions of Ohio.
This qualitative study invites perspectives from all mental health professionals to answer the following research questions: What is keeping you in your job? What has made you leave your job?
This research has been approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB).
