Meet Misty Baldwin, master's student, UTHealth employee and HEROES intern! To strengthen her social work studies at Walden University, she shadows our program's coaches during counselling and outreach activities. She considers exciting being able to learn about therapy, facilitation of group sessions and listening to people in recovery. She loves seeing clients grow through the HEROES program. Misty would like to become a licensed clinical social worker; therefore, she considers her internship a very important component in pursuing this goal. Her role as community health worker at UTHealth Houston focuses on family assistance. During her limited spare time, Misty goes to the gym and walks in the park to decompress. Welcome to the team Misty! We are dedicated to helping professionals like you build a career in addiction treatment. Thanks for your contribution to the HEROES program.
