Cleve D.’s Answer

There are a multitude of opportunities to help kids and families other than being a social worker or doctor. Options such as licensed professional counselor (LPC), licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), licensed chemical dependency counselor (LCDC), School Guidance Counselor, etc. These are just a few off the top of my head. The majority of these I listed does require a Masters degree and clinical internships where you have to accumulate face to face hours that are required to get your license.

Cleve D. recommends the following next steps:

Research careers in counseling or psychology with a Masters degree.
