As an assistant vice president on its executive board, she\u2019s encouraged countless graduates to \u201cshare their time, talent, and treasure\u201d as Wildcat alumni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earning a master\u2019s degree in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilmu.edu\/behavioralscience\/mscc.aspx\">Clinical Mental Health Counseling<\/a> through WilmU\u2019s College of Social and Behavioral Sciences has enabled her to put that recommendation into practice. In the two years since completing her master\u2019s, she\u2019s been applying her education toward assistance, most recently at Survivors of Abuse in Recovery (SOAR). This statewide nonprofit organization provides mental health services to victims of sexual trauma and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cI do exactly what my master\u2019s program prepared me to do,\u201d says Galloway, \u201cand I love what I\u2019m doing. WilmU has opened up so many doors for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>She joined SOAR full-time in April of 2019. As a program manager, she conducts clinical assessment interviews with adult clients, manages the intake process, and coordinates efforts at the Wilmington, Newark, Dover, and Georgetown locations. She\u2019s even started training and supervising SOAR\u2019s interns, a role she\u2019d filled herself during the final semesters of her master\u2019s program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Clinical Mental Health Counseling program does a good job of integrating practical and experiential learning into its coursework,\u201d she says, including actual group therapy sessions in which classmates are participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also proved to be ahead of the curve in terms of teaching its students what they\u2019ll need on the job. \u201cI found out once I began working in counseling that our program really highlights trauma-informed care,\u201d she says. \u201cIt incorporates it into every class, which is useful because I work with trauma survivors. Everyone in helping professions should be trauma-informed, but not everyone is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Galloway, it\u2019s taken time to learn how to help guide survivors of physical and emotional trauma toward recovery. But one\u2019s talent can prove to be a treasure to those in need, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI never saw mental health counseling as something unfamiliar or shameful,\u201d she says. \u201c I\u2019m proud to take my strengths and apply them to care.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A&nbsp;master\u2019s in Counseling helped Anah Galloway help trauma victims.
