Psychiatric Technology

CalWORKs has made it possible for mH to get my Associates Degree and Certificate in Communications I, giving me the motivation to do the Psychiatric Technician program. I am proud to say I will be graduating this December and applying for my dream job. Because of CalWORKs I am going to further my education in Psychology and Transfer to a CSU next year!
