“My Detroit Clinical Scholarship helped me as a first-generation student and parent who was raising children when I was in school. If I hadn't received scholarships, the reality is I wouldn't have been able to earn an MSW. My training made me a very competitive job applicant. I secured a position as a therapist with the community mental health authority of Kent County where I work with a multidisciplinary team serving residents with complex and severe mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders.”
