Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Kevin Jiang, behavioral health technician assigned to Navy Medicine Readiness Training Command Bremerton Mental Health department helps provides a wide array of outpatient behavioral health services, as evidenced in last year alone with individual psychotherapy, operational and readiness-related psychological evaluations, and Personnel Reliability Program personnel evaluations to Sailors, Marines and Coast Guard across 299 tenet commands in the Pacific Northwest and as far afield as Naval Air Station Lemoore. There was a high level of clinical involvement from Jiang and other behavioral health technicians, characterized by their engagement in 198 safety checks, 1,092 access-to-care appointments, and 130 group therapy sessions as well as individual patient follow-up care. BHTs like Jiang are crucial in helping to increase understanding of the importance of mental health and awareness. “A Navy behavioral health technician is a specialty within the corpsman rating that focuses on mental health and wellness of service members,” explained Jiang, a Los Angeles, California native, Temple City High School 2016 graduate and Grand Canyon University 2022 alumni. “Technicians are supervised under psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals to provide the best level of care for service members.” (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer)
