Mental Health Staffing Shortages―a Real Headache Mental health has come out of the shadows, creating bright new job opportunities in an industry working hard to attract and retain fresh recruits. "Since 1999, the mental health project has been exploring best practices in workforce development," explains Brian Keefer, program manager with the California Mental Health Planning Council, Human Resources Project. "The purpose is to expand the capacity and diversity of the public mental-health force in order to provide recovery-based practices. " The council provides assistance to individuals with serious mental illness and children with emotional disturbances. "The mental health community is short of professional workers," he reports, "and there are many entry points into this diverse field. You could begin as a volunteer and then as an outreach (外展) worker. This is someone who is hired with a certificate in human services or case management. "School Graduate a Must Keefer advises anyone thinking of working in the mental health industry to become licensed. Students can earn undergraduate degrees in a variety of courses, but they should really hone (磨练) in on graduate school. Licensing is generally attained three years after completion of a bachelor’s degree. The reason for licensing is a matter of dollars and job opportunities. Licensing is required by insurance companies to approve treatment costs. "There are opportunities for non-licensed mental health workers," Keefer reports, "but the majority of demand is for licensed and certified staff. " Salaries reflect the disparity (差距): Entry-level jobs for non-licensed mental health workers range from 25,000 to 35, 000 a year, while licensed professionals can earn as much as 75, 000 annually. "In comparison, people that work in summer recreational camps make 40, 000 a year," he points out. "In fact, a manager at a national fast-food chain makes the same as an entry-level case manager. "However, most people don’t go into mental health work to make a lot of money. Most have had a personal connection with the work, and that experience touched their life in some way and compelled them to pursue a career in the field. " Rusty Selix, executive director of the Mental Health Association in California, sees tremendous shortages in the mental health field for two reasons. First, there is a new public recognition of the importance and widespread need for mental health services. "People from all social levels are seeking help," he contends. "Those in the prison system need special attention because many professionals believe mental illness is to blame for much of their behavior." Secondly, the interest in exploring that care has not drawn an increased number of people to the field. The top four professions in the mental health field are child psychiatrists (精神病学家), adult and child psychologists, marriage and family therapists, and substance abuse services.Supply Shy of Demand All levels of professional care, from public and private facilities to prisons and the welfare system, are competing for qualified personnel. With shortages everywhere, all areas have a surplus of opportunities. Selix advises job seekers to explore marriage and family counseling, social work, psychiatry or bachelor-level work in counseling and nursing. All are related but very different in scope. Of course, shortages are the greatest in fields where more education is required. "Mental health work is not the highest paying field, but it’s among the most satisfying," he contends. "People don’t retire; they work late because they enjoy what they are doing―helping another human being to overcome a problem. " If candidates are willing to work in the public community stage of mental health, there are allowance programs available from colleges and universities. "I would encourage passionate people to ’ go for it’ because of the amount of job choices available," he declares. "It’s a growing field and the demand for staff is much larger than the current supply. " Nancy Kincald, spokeswoman for the California Department of Mental Health agrees. "We’re always recruiting qualified people," she reports. "But I don’t think that is exclusive to mental health; all trades including nursing and law enforcement are having difficulties. Seventy-six million baby boomers are marching toward retirement and that is a huge wave of the workforce to replace. "Generations Apart It’s been more difficult to recruit into the social services, she adds, because a generation of young people believes the push is toward college and a future that is more financially secure. "This philosophy is so different from the 1960s," she observes. "Young people were motivated to help others because of President Kennedy and the Peace Corps and other philosophies. But that’s not in the middle of today’s radar screen. "I think young people today want to carry a briefcase and work for Google. " However, for those looking for a meaningful career in the mental health field, there is a fast track to a good paying job without years of schooling. The Mental Health Department has been working closely with community colleges to bring people into the system. Cuesta College, for example, offers a psychiatric technical program where students attend classroom instruction and gain hands-on experience at the Atascadero State hospital. "We help graduates of the program to get their state license so they can begin working in the hospital," Kincaid explains. " These technicians work as a treatment team alongside nurses and physicians to help with mentally ill patient evaluation and treatment. Students could be hired to work as a state employee in the hospital while they are in the program. " The best place to investigate careers in the mental health field, she advises, is a career counselor’s office at your local community college. Job shadowing is one of the best ways to learn what a day in the life of a psychiatric technician is really like. Kincaid sums it up as a very rewarding challenge. "When I speak with staff in the mental hospitals, they tell me the work is not easy because people are in crisis. However, they also tell me the most rewarding part of the job is to be part of a treatment that turns someone’s life around. According to Brian Keefer, what is the problem of the mental health community A. A lack of professional workers. B. A lack of national financial aids. C. Over-prescription of mental medicine.D. Insufficiency of medical equipment.

They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommy's tummy. The pregnancy progresses normally for Karen, an active member of the Panther Creek United Methodist Church in Morristown, Tennessee. Then the labor pains come. Every five minutes …every minute. But Complications arise during delivery. Hours of labor. Would a C﹣section be required? Finally, Michael's little sister is born. But she is in serious condition. With siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee. The days inch by. The little girl gets worse. The pediatric specialist tells the parents, "There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst." Karen and her husband contact a local cemetery about a burial plot. They have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby ﹣ now they plan a funeral. Michael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, "I want to sing to her, " he says, but kids are never allowed in Intensive Care Unit. However, Karen makes up her mind. She will take Michael whether they like it or not. If he doesn't see his sister now, he may never see her alive. She dresses him in an oversized scrub suit and marches him into ICU. He looks like a walking laundry basket, but the head nurse recognizes him as a child and bellows, "Get that kid out of here now! No children are allowed." The mother rises up strong in Karen, and the usually mild﹣mannered lady glares steel﹣eyed into the head nurse's face, her lips a firm line. "He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!" Karen tows Michael to his sister's bedside. He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he begins to sing. In the pure hearted voice of a 3﹣year﹣old, Michael sings: "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray …"Instantly the baby girl responds. The pulse rate becomes calm and steady. Keep on singing, Michael. "You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away…" The ragged, strained breathing becomes as smooth as a kitten's purr. Keep on singing, Michael. "The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms…" Michael's little sister relaxes as rest, healing rest, seems to sweep over her. Keep on singing, Michael. Tears conquer the face of the bossy head nurse. Karen glows. "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. Please don't take my sunshine away." Funeral plans are scrapped. The next day ﹣ the very next day ﹣ the little girl is well enough to go home! The medical staff just called it a miracle. Karen called it a miracle of God's love! Never give up on the people you love. Love is so incredibly powerful.(1)What can we learn from the passage?________A.Michael doesn't love his younger sister because she will share his mother's.B.After delivering the baby, Karen was seriously ill.C.Seeing the younger sister in danger, Michael didn't care and still sang happily.D.The head nurse was at last moved by Michael's song and his love for the sister.(2)Why did Karen insist on Michael's entering Intensive Care Unit ?________A.Because Michael may never have chance to see his younger sister alive.B.ecause Karen was driven mad at that time.C.Because Michael was also seriously ill.D.Because Karen knew Michael would save his younger sister by his singing.(3)Who saved the girl in the end?________A.The baby .

The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It' s very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What' s more, the greatest advantage of bike-sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don' t value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike-sharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.(1)From the first paragraph, we know ______.A.bike-sharing is invented in ChinaB.sharing-bikes are used by some peopleC.most people in cities don't driveD.sharingbik-es can be borrowed anywhere(2)The underlined word "scan" in Paragraph 2 probably means ________ in Chinese.A.浏览 B.扫描 C.审视 D.细查(3)If you want to use a sharing-bike, you must ________ first.A.have a smart phone and download an APPB.download an APP and pay for the tripC.unlock the bike and download an APPD.find a nearest bike and borrow it from anyone.(4)Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?A.Bike-sharing is very cheap.B.Sharing-bikes may be stolen.C.Sharing-bikes are easy to unlock.D.Bike-sharing is a kind of green transport.(5)The passage probably comes from a ________.A.science textbook B.tourist guide C.website news report D.restaurant menu
