I’ve been thinking about checking myself in one of these but I’ll be scared and I’ll be away from my mom. Plus the other thing I’ll hate is not being able to have my phone to listen to music
I'm 13 and obviously looking at what type of jobs I would like to do when I'm older as I do my gcses and things in 2 years and this is what I'm looking at right now
This video speaks more to private facilities with low risk patients it seems. I am a Licensed Psychiatric Technician in California, I work for the state in a locked State Hospital and work with PC 2972 MDO patients who are highly psychotic, have many co-morbid Dx and who are often violent. I really don’t like people who did not have to complete an intense PT program at an accredited college and take and pass state boards to be cleared for licensing like I did being allowed to use the same title I had to work hard to earn, sorry but I just don’t. licensed PT’s here in California have a wide scope of practice that includes various in depth nursing skills, we also pass all the meds and run the med rooms and give all the IM’s. SPT’s (senior psych techs) run the units for each shift, not our RN’s. We have very in depth psych training, way more then RN’s and non licensed PT’s in other states and are the commanding presence as far as executing patient treatment, trauma informed care, and executing behavioral modification techniques and were are unionized and I currently make over $35/hr. I honestly don’t know why, with our current mental health crisis in this country, they don’t use CA as a model and expand it nationwide and begin to properly educate and license PT’s nationwide.
My older brother attempted suicide four times in a month. He was sent to a psych ward, he was traumatized, but that’s because he got to a terribly barbaric place. Just thought I’d share.
…this video is a joke. Not the job, THIS video. This is not an accurate portrayal of what a mental health specialist goes through in a day… I was so hopeful to find support in this video. I've been a mental health specialist for four years and this is not what my job is like.
I don't get why you need medical school or degrees to do this. This is exactly what I did at High Point under a different "title" and I got paid a lot less and came in a lot for other people's shifts.
Funny how you "medical Professionals" contributed to the opioid crisis , and involuntarily committed innocent men / women/ children over being on social media just a few months ago, making claims it made peoples behaviour 'ANTI-SOCIAL' yet now 10 years later , youtube , facebook, instagram, twitter, tik tok and zoom is what those anti-social kids were doing a decade ago , and NOW zoom and those very websites are YOUR only options to be functioning human beings working in the medical field …what a crazy life eh
Hello I hope someone reads this question: Do I need to get a certification to start working as a technician. Also, where would I go to be certified.Please comment.
starting in 1981 I did 15 years as a mental heath technician in all types of population private and State. Still recovering 5 years later. Learned so much. Is there a private support with other MHT'S to share experiences with?
Dedicte to Maam Ganga Gurung of doing master in psychiatric nursing and teach for us psychiatric nursing 2nd year and recently teaching in Birgunj medical college and Namrata kafle di of Madi..completing bachelor from chitwan medical college and going china for master degree and wish both Ganga Gurung maam and Nameata kafle di family for good health and life and wealth too and lots of love too💞💞💞⭐⭐⭐🎗🎗🎗💐💐💐🍁🍁🍁🧚♂️🧚♂️🧚♂️
One of the techs is wearing a lanyard..one of the techs walks in the room corners herself, with an agitated pt. Nurse walks in stetoscope just hanging around her neck. Tech sitting down with a pt showing aggresive behavior with a pen on her front pocket loooool. There are so many things wrong with this video. The girl says be on guard but the guy initiates physical contact with a pt. This video shows what not to do at all costs working a psych unit
Maximum Security Forensic Tech, Female Unit, Illinois State.
98% of the public only THINK they know what "crazy" looks like.
Imagine killing your kid, dad, wife or all three and not realizing it (or accepting it really happened because, well, you're crazy) until 3 or 4 MONTHS later when you get on the right medication. By this time you're in a 8×10 room with a plastic bed, no clothes except a suicide smock, and fingernails cut to the quick.
Imagine wanting desperately to die and having a team of people who are tasked with making sure you don't.
For some people I'm positive I work on the first floor of heaven… Helping them move on from unimaginable horror into some semblance of a life.
If I were younger this would have been the job I would have wanted I worked in doctor office but this job would have been ideal for me to help others I have anxiety and panic disorder take medication 💊 this would have been ideal for me to help others like I was helped
I remember having been to behavioral health hospitals and seeing the techs work, it got me to think maybe I can join. I know how it is being patient there myself. Not saying it'll be easy. Just not sure how do I go about it but I would like to try. If all other career options fail.
This video makes me cry . I battle with depression, but the question still remains Is this post-traumatic stressing or am I suppressing rage? And my doctor tries to tell me that I'm going through a phase Yeah, it's not a fucking phase, I just wanna feel okay, okay?
I just started this job, it’s my third day and I just wanted to know how to be happy myself when constantly in an environment that’s kind of sad, thank you
Where did the idea of putting random people with strange various unknown diseases of the brain altogether come from and why did they think it would be healing or therapeutic to anyone involved? It’s basically just get patients on large doses (probably too large) of sedatives and call it healing.
I’m watching this as I’m contemplating on wanting to continue on becoming a RN as I’m not doing well with my prereq classes. On the other hand I meet the requirements for Psych Tech. I still want to work in Healthcare as that’s the only thing I know but I’m unsure of which path to take. Not only that, but I also need to have some experience in healthcare for Nursing. 😵💫

The Sterile walls still breed an anxiety from me

Just had a interview as a psych tech as a adolesent psychiatric hospital hope I got the job
My daughter was sent down back in November and all the “techs” , rude , uneducated, cunts with no empathy or emotion.
My mom was talking about sending me to one. I got really scared. And I get That there not all the same but now I'm not as scared.

It only depends on who's running the clinic , everything in professional is propaganda

For others I'm a caretaker in hell.
I still love my job…
Be prepared to get your ass beat , there are no protection for techs

You mean besides abusing the patients?
I am starting my journey to become one soon lol just enrolled in the classes
What is the career advancement ladder above a Psych Tech?
my dream job🥺
I don't think most of these places require a hs diploma for this. That's the type of people who work in these joints.

Happy psychiatric Technicians Day January 16.
It’s hard work, but so rewarding.
I just started this job, it’s my third day and I just wanted to know how to be happy myself when constantly in an environment that’s kind of sad, thank you
I have a mental illness myself. If anyone needs payer let me know how I can help.
Where did the idea of putting random people with strange various unknown diseases of the brain altogether come from and why did they think it would be healing or therapeutic to anyone involved? It’s basically just get patients on large doses (probably too large) of sedatives and call it healing.
i begin a job on a crisis unit. im so nervous but excited
How to be a psych tech after graduating as a psych student? Someone pls answer
Looks like its useful to be buff lift weights and be super understanding at the same time.
I’m watching this as I’m contemplating on wanting to continue on becoming a RN as I’m not doing well with my prereq classes. On the other hand I meet the requirements for Psych Tech. I still want to work in Healthcare as that’s the only thing I know but I’m unsure of which path to take. Not only that, but I also need to have some experience in healthcare for Nursing. 😵💫
Happy Psychiatric Physician's Day January 16 2025

What is this awful metallic screetching music in the background?
