By giving mental health professionals an opportunity to connect, LA-CAMFT helps them develop lasting relationships.

After all, professionals in mental health must uplift each other in order to achieve excellence.

In his interview with LA-CAMFT, Ben discussed some of the professional challenges facing therapists today. He provided some insight on job interviews, often a critical concern for new professionals.

But of course, there are plenty of other job-related issues that impact therapists. Ben also discussed the more challenging aspects of examinations and licensing, which can be full of pitfalls. He also highlighted some day-to-day concerns of working therapists, including health insurance and compensation. This type of information represents the exact type of support many new professionals need.

LA-CAMFT is working to make mental health professionals more successful. This translates to a healthier, happier community at large. LA-CAMFT is powered by volunteers and employees who come together to make their professional communities stronger. Ultimately, this makes Southern California a healthier and more vibrant place to live.

More and more people are starting to understand the benefits of committing their time to building their professional communities.
