(ABC 6 News) — In Iowa, mental health services are limited, but a new major at the University of Iowa is hoping to change that.
The Counseling and Behavioral Health Sciences major will give students the opportunity to do hands-on counseling work in a variety of specialties.
Students won’t come out of the program as licensed therapists, but it is intended to be the first step towards a career.
However, the impact it will have on the state’s need remains unknown.
