Blake Bingham
What is
your Job Title / Role at RHS?
Owner/Director of Community Based Services
How did
you come into the Mental Health Field?
I was attending college and had a conversation with DeVere
about degrees and he said, “Get a degree in psychology or sociology then come
work for me.” Therefore, I received a degree in Sociology and the rest is
history.
Who
inspired you to pursue this career choice?
See the above conversation.
How
important is it for you to work with our Southeast Idaho Community?
Being involved in the community has always been very
important to me. Early on, I had the
opportunity to work with the Grid Kid football program. Since then I have had
opportunities to stay involved with youth in various sports. Being able to teach/coach kids and sharing my
enjoyment of sports has been very rewarding.
What is
something someone might not know about you?
I speak French.
What are
some of your interests / hobbies?
Taking long rides on my motorcycle. For me it’s not the destination but the route
to get there.
What is
the best advice you would give to someone just coming into this field?
Try to realize that every person you interact with are doing
the best they can that day. Don’t take
it personal.
