I have 35 years of experience, and specialize in the field of mental health with specific knowledge in the areas of all aspects of mental health and mental retardation treatment, including inpatient and community mental health, emergency services, group homes, residential care, and case management, social/vocational, behavioral health managed care, record review, quality assurance and management/fiscal. I have published on these topics and I have made presentations at national conferences on numerous subjects related to community mental health treatment. While the community mental health movement was transferring from state hospital custodial care, I was an innovator in developing comprehensive community systems of treatment.
