Brian Lewis

Summary
Hello, my name is Brian Lewis. Having worked in behavioral health for about 12 years, I am interested in returning to the field. I am currently a real estate agent and do investment work on the side and have done so for the past 20 years. However, I started out working in mental health and have an extensive background and experience. I have worked everywhere from group homes with kids and adults who had developmental delays and mental illness, to inpatient psychiatric units and in the Crisis department where I assisted not only mental health emergencies, but case management as well. I am able to easily navigate the mental health system and assist the clients in setting various appointments, setting up transportation, help with housing, shelter, or substance-abuse needs and/or resources. I am self-motivated, great with time management, and can multitask. I have great empathy and compassion for our mental health clientele and would appreciate the opportunity to learn and grow with your company.
