Jamie Meyer began working as a crisis intervention specialist at Butler’s Center for Community Resources about a year ago.

“Every day is so different,” Meyer said. “You just never know what’s going to ring on the other end.”

She began work with the center as part of an internship for her bachelor’s degree in social work.

“I got hired on right after graduation,” she said. “I knew I wanted to do something with mental health, so it worked out for me.”

It was Meyer’s mother who inspired her.

“She was a nurse, and she worked in mental health,” she said. “I knew nursing wasn’t for me, but I wanted do something along those lines — as far as helping people.”
