Testimonials
Through my education at Walden, I have become more aware of how important it is to advocate for those who are marginalized and for my current and future profession.
This degree has fueled my passion for nonprofit work. I have developed a connection with the homeless community and a new awareness of the mental illness and addiction within this community.
My Walden education supported me in both hard skills centered around workforce development, clinical work around the field of psychology, as well as soft skill development such as communication.
