thank you all for your help and advice on this issue, i guess time will tell with what i actually do.
Aries, You are definitely correct. I am in no way looking to go the easier way. On the contrary, i believe that proper training in the field is vital. If i may so, the reason that i am even considering the MHC degree through TTI is because i will not go to a regular public college. As i stated earlier i am not located in the tri state area, therefore leaving me with very limited options.
aries, That is beautiful you did it for chessed.
true people do not go for the newbies however experience begins somewhere! obviously one starts and then builds themeslves up. I am not looking to make a busniess as much as i am intrested to help out others, i would just like to be aware of the financial aspect of things in the area. I completely agree with all those that mentioned above that social work is not a money making busniess.
aries2756- that is a valid point that i did not take into consideration -whether insurance covers it or not. With your experience though , having patients pay out of pocket does it seem to be a significant problem?
Lia- actually when i go to a DR i do not inquire what and how they went about their schooling. When i choose a DR. it is usually based on a good referral from someone else and thus choosing that DR. I believe that can be applied in this situation as well- social workers as well as mental health counslors.
I am choosing the field of social work/mental health because i feel the frum world has a serious need for it. I am determined to help all those out there suffering from it and bring awareness to those that are ignorant. However, to say it is not financially worthwhile then what job would be? Personally i think that most jobs are not paid well enough to support a family etc..
charliehall- thank you for that idea i may look into that option i am just not that thrilled to wait untill the summer to begin..Again does anyone have any specific facts on the mental health counseling degree from TTI?
whocares- does the new seminary-Bulka have options online? i am not locate din the tristate area, thus i will not be able to attend classes. That is why i am inquiring about the Reizel Rite-TTi- Mental health counseling degree which can be down directly online. However, like i mentioned before, the mental health counseling degree seems rather new and i am a bit nervous about entering such a field when not proven to be so successful.
so now 1 yr later, does anyone have any better info on the mhc degree? is it something worth to go into? or an msw is safer?
i agree- nothing wrong for a divorced guy looking for a single girl, BUT you have to say the same for a divorced girl looking for a single guy!
thanks for fixing it! i am really enjoying!
why is it that the mods or YW Key master won’t respond to everyone about the YWN radio, and they respond to so many other unimportant topics. If you have no response for us for the better at least can you just tell us that.
thanks!
Can we please have a response as to when the YWN Radio will begin working again (if at all).
thanks!
Mods, do you have any clue whats going on? Is the YWN radio going to get fixed?
thanks!
Is anyone else having a problem, or it is just me? YWN Radio has not been work since yesterday, when i click on it, it’s been saying that it’s playing the Shapiro brothers V’chulum…
I f someone can help me out i would appreciate it, thanks!

happy123, there is no judging. We are talking theoretical, not any particular case. Furthermore, we are discussing the future, not so much the past. Meaning, encouraging the continuation and preservation of current and future Jewish marriages, and discouraging unnecessary and counterproductive divorces
that being said, I do not understand how you are encouraging the continuation of Jewish marriages,rather i think you are making statements as to why divorce is counterproductive and usually happens over petty things-which means you ARE judging the theoretical aspect of a divorce to be able to say those statements. (and not any particular case, in the past present or future)
Kasha, so if we agree on the point that once a couple is divorced we should give those individuals full support and we are not going to judge them, then what is your point in any further discussion in this forum? There is abvoiusly no room for us to discuss what we think is acceptable as a valid reason for divorce if we are ONLY going to judge those that are divorced in a POSITIVE way and that they did whatever they can to savor the marriage, but it was not possible.
Mods, is there s/t wrong with my post? you can edit it if you like. i just want to make a Clear point that we all should not think we can judge those that get divorced and we are not the ones to decide what makes a valid reason because you cannot judge someone unless you are in their shoes, and we never will be!

I agree with clearheaded, there is no black and white in these situations. However, one thing is forsure that when a couple gets divorced it’s usually not out of choice but rather a must. We need to encourage those that are divorced and treat them regularly and not be so quick to judge them in a negative why. We can’t think we are smarter than them and greater than them and give them our ideas that they should have not gotten divorced.
People are so quick to take the honor to be Mesader Kedushin but not so quick to be mesadir a get. People are afraid to encourage people to get divorced when appropriate and if not done it can be detremental to them. Lets stop ourselves from creating any further stigma that there is already and be encouraging to those that need it.
clearheaded- what do you mean by the fact that a spouse cant “give love” and otherwise is a seemingly responsible good person? do you have experience in that? i can definatly tell you that when 1 spouse cannot give love-meaning an emotional connection to the other spouse there are will be many more issues included as well. If a spose feels no love from the other there, and there is no emotional connection there will be a ripple affect into other thing as well ie, the physical connection, and communication.
you can’t imagine how difficult it can be for 1 spouse to feel no emotional connection and love from the other.
After being an observer of the coffee room for a while, i had to respond to this topic. As someone who can testify that divorce IS the correct thing to do in certain situations, i have been there and done that.
Kasha- how can you say divorce is a dirty word? yes in this day and age, in the unfortunate society we live in there are many many issues that many spouses may have that are not known prior to the marriage, and the only option is to go out. As someone who put in over a year in a marriage to attempt to do everything i can to make it work, it did not help. Do i feel bad that i put in all that time, no. this way i can honestly give you my opinion now, that i have attempted to keep my marriage, and put in all efforts possible with much help and guidance and it was not ment to be. I am very happy now, being out of that marriage for over a year and i am a perfectly normal healthy girl, and if the world looks at me with a stigma, i will just continue to keep my head up high.
