Hello, all! Myself and few others over at Reddit are tired of getting the exact same questions about routes one can take to practice therapy or work in mental health, as well as questions regarding PsyD vs PhD, and about specific institutions which are notoriously predatory. To help combat this and lessen the repetition of the forum, we are creating a "Careers in Mental Health Omnibus" and a "Program Red Flags" guide. I would love solicit feedback on the documents we are compiling, particularly the notes on what program characteristics can be thought of as red flags! (Feel free to provide any feedback about these documents. These are
very, very rough drafts written in a total of 2 work days by myself, so they are heavy on content but light on being well-organized and edited). Thanks, everyone!
Note: These are meant to be a tad snarky and light-hearted, but if the snark needs toning down, please let me know.

Editing to add a second version of the first link...this version is still a work in progress but is based on feedback received here and elsewhere. Note that I am still in the midst of adding feedback, so some stuff mentioned here may not be present yet.
