Alabama is in the bottom four states, with a high prevalence of mental illness and low rates of mental healthcare access. “We at Wallace developed a Mental Health Technician program, and we have had this in the concept and trying to get it implemented for the last couple of years. We hope to prepare workers for dealing with the regular things that are in the skill facilities that they will be working in, acute care facilities, some of the Alzheimer units as well as behavioral medicine units,” Buntin said.
