Helaine’s Career Stories

What is the one piece of career advice you wish someone gave you when you were younger?

Patience: My life has taken unexpected paths. Having graduated from the Cornell School of Industrial and Labor Relations, I worked as a labor and employment lawyer before earning my LMSW, my true calling. My major was Mental Health. I primarily counsel employees with job stress, but can also assist with general mental health issues. I administer the website www.JanesPlace.org. Feel free to browse it. I have also written on the topics of mental health, disability, and transracial-adoption.
