From working at a crisis center and helping people formerly incarcerated to supporting marginalized communities and centering their voices \u2014 Health Studies alumni from the University of Washington Bothell prove that ordinary people with commitment can make an extraordinary impact on the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI went into this field because I wanted to make a difference,\u201d said 2022 alumnus Calvin Trinh. \u201cBeing of service to people is what motivates me to continue doing what I do, even when it\u2019s hard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only are these alumni committed to their communities, but they are also committed to UW Bothell students who follow after them. Nearly a dozen alumni recently participated in a virtual panel with faculty from the School of Nursing & Health Studies<\/a>, offering advice and explaining to students how they use their degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One such alumnus was Trinh, who majored in Health Studies and in Community Psychology. He now works as a forensic mental health clinician at Sound Health, one of King County\u2019s providers of mental health and addiction treatment services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trinh works with individuals who have been incarcerated and are trying to reintegrate back into the community. He makes sure they take their medications and meet with their parole officers, and, when appropriate, he speaks with their friends and family to help them reconnect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trinh said his background in psychology complements his health studies degree because many of the people he works with have mental health disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI see a lot of people who suffer from something psychological, whether it\u2019s mania, depression or schizophrenia,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause of their mental illness, their bodies suffer, too. They often don\u2019t eat, sleep or drink well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaking sure they are emotionally regulated is the first step, and I notice that when their mental health improves, so does their overall health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Care in crisis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trinh\u2019s passion for mental health led him to pursue an additional job at Crisis Connections, a nonprofit organization in Seattle dedicated to supporting people through mental health crises. As the crisis intervention specialist, he oversees phone workers on the helpline, checks the database for those who may fall under the Involuntary Treatment Act, and works alongside police and firefighters to try to get the appropriate resources for individuals who are severely struggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While at UW Bothell, Trinh worked with Dr. Jody Early, professor in the School of Nursing & Health Studies and co-creator of Mental Health Matters<\/a>. \u201cEverything clicked for me when I started working in that program,\u201d Trinh said. \u201cIt made me realize my calling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through Mental Health Matters, a partnership with Verdant Health Commission, Trinh was trained to see the warning signs for suicide as well as how to reach people with empathy and to communicate effectively \u2014 all skills imperative to master in his career. \u201cI think suicide has a lot of stigma, and before Mental Health Matters, it felt uncomfortable for me to even say the word out loud,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLooking back, becoming comfortable with talking about suicide was hugely important considering the jobs that I have now. Equally important, though, was learning about emotional support and how to talk to people without judgment, criticism or blame, and just make sure that they feel comfortable opening up and receiving support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe training I gained through this program,\u201d he said, \u201chas made me the professional I am today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparatory programs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like Trinh, alumna Marisol Bejarano (Health Studies \u201920) said what prepared her most for her career was participating in a community-based learning program. For Bejarano, that was the Latino Leadership Initiative. Created by the Latino Educational Training Institute, a long-time partner of the University, the LLI promotes leadership development and community engagement among young Latinos in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorking with LETI made me realize how much I enjoy working with community and bringing people together through events,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen the program ended, I decided to start volunteering at LETI, and shortly after I was offered a full-time, paid staff position.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bejarano was first hired as the coordinator for Health and Wellness Programs and ran it on her own. Now, she is the director and oversees a team of 12. \u201cWe have grown a lot,\u201d she said, \u201cand I was able to establish a lot of the program development and train most everyone on our team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also said she felt well prepared for this position because of the holistic view of health and health care she gained at UW Bothell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holistic health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bejarano specifically remembers Public Health 101 taught by Dr. Grace Lasker, teaching professor and director of Health Studies. \u201cI took that class my second quarter at UW Bothell, and I just remember thinking yes, I am in the right place. This is the impact I want to make.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the class final, she wrote a paper on the social determinants of health and now applies what she learned in her work at LETI. \u201cThere are all these characteristics that help a person be well, like rent assistance, for example. You may not think of rent as being related to health or health care, but that financial stability really does make a change in the way people feel, mentally and emotionally,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven education is related to health because if you get a better education, you\u2019re going to have a better job, live in a better area and be able to take better care of yourself. It\u2019s all interconnected \u2014 and that\u2019s why in my position I really push for education resources and financial assistance because health is so vast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At LETI, Bejarano helped to create a series of classes for community members, including GED classes in Spanish, business development, women\u2019s health and more. Additionally, she aided in the creation of a rent assistance program for those who are struggling financially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am so grateful for the education and support I received at UW Bothell. I now have the ability to pay it forward through LETI,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s been an extremely rewarding career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critical conversations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alumna Anny Smith (Health Studies \u201919) also uses her degree to support her community as the human services coordinator for the city of Kirkland. Smith was a non-traditional student, returning to college after working as a registered nurse for more than 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot only was I decades older than most other students in my classes, but I am also a woman of color. Coming back into this academic setting was, to some extent, pretty intimidating,\u201d she said. \u201cDr. Early was a huge support, always reminding me that I could do it, even though at times I felt I couldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only did Smith graduate with a bachelor\u2019s degree from the Health Studies program, but she then went on to receive a master\u2019s in social work from the UW in Seattle along with a nonprofit certificate from the UW\u2019s Evans School of Business. \u201cI had no intention of going beyond my bachelor\u2019s degree,\u201d Smith said. \u201cWhen I applied for the graduate program, I was just about 50 and thought no way I could do it \u2014 but I had such incredible professors who encouraged me to keep going, so I did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, community outreach is a focal point of Smith\u2019s work, getting to know people at nonprofits, small businesses and BIPOC organizations. \u201cI was taught the importance of centering community and centering voices early on in my health studies classes,\u201d Smith said. \u201cDr. Early was great at modeling how to build meaningful relationships and engage with folks in important conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith said having this background was essential as she now uses these skills daily. \u201cOftentimes communities of color are treated like a monolith. People often believe that if they talk to one person of color, then they know everything,\u201d she said. \u201cOf course this isn\u2019t the case, and I am working to reprogram our systems and strategies so that we can engage with communities, build relationships and create a safe environment for community members to express their needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smith\u2019s minor in Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies also supports her success, giving her the ability to voice concerns when individuals or communities are being treated unfairly. \u201cThere are many different disparities across health, gender, sexuality and race,\u201d she said. \u201cThis minor enabled me to see those disparities more clearly as well as the confidence to advocate for others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to working as a registered nurse, Smith had spent many years working as a grocer just to get by. \u201cI was getting paid super low wages, and I just had to keep my head down because I really needed that money, no matter how little it was,\u201d she said. \u201cThere were a lot of times my coworkers and I were treated unfairly, but if we said anything we feared we would lose our jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow, working in government with a master\u2019s degree, I am finally in a position where I can advocate for myself and for others who are treated unfairly, even when it\u2019s hard and uncomfortable,\u201d Smith said. \u201cIt still makes me nervous and it\u2019s scary, but I remember what it was like and know that it\u2019s important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely been my greatest growth area and something I am really proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commitment to community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although Smith graduated four years ago, she said she still keeps in touch with Early.
\u201cIt means a lot that she still reaches out. I still feel supported even after I am gone,\u201d she said, \u201cand I think that\u2019s indicative of the program \u2014 the faculty commitment to the students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Trinh also noted, \u201cThe support I received in this program was more than I could have imagined. The professors provide so many opportunities, and I highly encourage students to take advantage of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am so grateful for the education I received and the relationships I was able to build in this program,\u201d he said. \u201cI take the empathy and dedication I was shown in the program and pass it on to the people I serve.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
