Hello, I have already pursued a CAADAC - wonderful program-. The only downside is job opportunities. Hence why i am anticipating applying towards MSW programs for more job growth. I am on the fence as to whether, an MSW is that much different in terms of an CAADAC, and hence have begin thinking of applying to doctorate programs since i am interested in research and enjoy a more clinical take than a community focus, typically found in MSW programs.

Hello... I am interesting in MSW programs with a strong clinical focus / approach. Other factories of interest include substance misuse and LGBTQ. Thanks

I am between the two. Identifying as a member of a vulnerable population, much of my personal and academic growth of overcoming social adversities is highly interconnected to social justice issues. I am passionate that health begins with identifying, addressing and assimilating problem-solving tactics years before the development of mental health issues. I am drawn to MSW programs for the ability of assimilating an holistic paradigm to disparities in mental health. I am also very passionate about psychological health, emphasis on substance abuse & LGBTQ issues. the ability to provide assessment , conduct original research and teach are additions perks. My long -term career goals involve working in a clinical setting working with a substance abuse populations, teaching and part-taking in research. I am well aware of the differences in educational length, competitiveness, scope of practice, and long-term career ends. Reaching out to see if anybody else is in a similar predicament? and if so, what your decision processing looks like.

Bryan Cochran. There's opportunity within the field, and finding an "ideal" match is rare under any circumstances. I'll be satisfied working under a POI in either substance abuse or LGBTQ health. The overlap and relationships between the two is high. All about timing now.

Agreed, that substance abuse is such a "generic conceptualization" in regards of clinical research. Specifically, i'd enjoying investigating substance abuse patterns within the LGBTQ community ( party drugs such as meth, E... to more appropriated culture substances inclusive of alcohol/weed/tobacco) There is an immensely high correlation/ co- occurring of mental health and substance abuse in the LGBTQ population - stemming from ethnographic adversities that are faced ie. psychological pain of stigma/prejudice/ bigotry; neo -acculturation that is in many ways a divergent of heteronormative family of origin conditioning; and lack of presence of heathy role modeling due to AIDS epidemic - that contribute to high substance abuse rates. I am interested in investigating and addressing how social-cultural themes exasperate substance abuse choices, and ways to alleviate symptoms through psychoeducation/ empowerment in a clinical setting. Appreciative of the listing some universities. Nothing rewarding comes easy

Hello, I am anticipating applying towards doctorate programs in this upcoming round, and will only be applying to universities/ mentorship positions in substance abuse research. Instead of individually looking up labs on google ,am hoping others know a list of schools that come to mind. thanks

I am in the same boat as gathering resources together for applying next fall. As i see it, tis better to be over-prepared than under.
