# Why work in behavioral health?

![Professional headshot - Amber Roduner](https://sdbehavioralhealthcareers.sd.gov/hs-fs/hubfs/SD%20Behavioral%20Health%20Careers/prof%20crop-1.jpg?width=125&height=125&name=prof%20crop-1.jpg)

I chose a career in behavioral health because I had a desire to help people to grow and change. The reason I choose to remain in behavioral health is because it is truly an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than me. While also allowing me to feel like I am contributing to the greater good of the community through the work that I and others like me do.

Having witnessed the impact and stigma of mental health and substance use challenges within my own circle of family and friends, I developed a strong commitment to supporting others navigating similar experiences. It’s inspiring to know that I’m planting seeds that will grow and spark lasting change. Behavioral health is not just my career, it’s my purpose rooted in hope, resilience, and the belief that every person deserves to be seen, heard, and supported on their behavioral health journey.

Working at a community-based mental health organization offers me the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in our rural communities and among diverse populations. I am motivated every day by my clients and how they conquer the challenges they face. It's rewarding to witness the transformation that can occur with therapeutic intervention.
