Hello, my name is Richard. I started my health care profession in 1998 as a Mental Health Mental Retardation Aide with Brenham State Supported Living Center. I was hands on meeting my residents daily living needs from bathing to taken my individuals to school and/or other itineraries. Since then I received my bachelor's in Psychology and my master in Marriage & Family Studies. I work with individuals with depression, intellectual development disabilities, autism, dementia and other mental illnesses. Currently, I work with The Harris Center as a Care Coordinator providing illness management recovery, daily coping skills and skills training to individuals with mental disorders/illness. With my years of hands on experience in mental health and direct care services, I am interested in providing part time direct professional services to families needing hands on skills training and direct care support for their love one. I will work weekend nights. Certified in first Aid and CPR, COPSD and LCDC -I.
