I had an interview today with someone who works at a behavioral health home and I've been working in behavioral health for a few years now. Far too often I see it where the clients are the main focus of the managers, which makes sense, but hell we need self care too. Tmi warning but I've had mental breakdowns working in this industry and I have been hospitalized for it.
I asked her how she felt about self care for her employees and she said “I can tell when someone is taking care of themself and I won't hire them if they don't take good care of themselves” ummm not what I meant but okay next question
Me: I have school twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday nights, would that be a problem?
Her: I mean, do you think it would be a problem?
Me: well no, but that's why I'm asking you
A few moments later…..
Her: alright everything sounds good you seem to be a good fit. But I will be transparent with you. You said some concerning things in regards to your schedule.
