Devloping future mental health providers & leaders
Pathways at People Incorporated
People Incorporated is committed to addressing the critical shortage of diverse future mental health providers and leaders through robust staff development programs. These programs support a wide spectrum of learners from those new to mental health through those who have completed their master’s degree.
Pathways development programs for our direct care roles are competency-based, experiential, mentor-supported, and include components such as job shadowing, licensure supervision, internships/fellowships and trainings provided by our own Training Institute. In addition, our in-house leadership development program, Link2Leadership, prepares future leaders for roles from entry-level supervisors to directors.

Staff Testimonials
Beverly Lewis
Beverly Lewis
Medical Director
“It’s my hope that I can help a person through a difficult time.” Dr. Lewis describes how she loves being a psychiatrist. Her work at People Incorporated gives her a gift that she cherishes in her life – helping her clients work through complex trauma and recover from substance use disorders to be healthier and more independent. She also enjoys reaching out and supporting BIPOC individuals and others from diverse communities.
Julie
Julie
Children’s Mental Health Case Manager
Julie has worked as a Children’s Mental Health Case Manager for 11 years at People Incorporated. Julie says, “There’s just really a lack of recognition for the level of trauma that our kids are carrying into the classrooms. And instead of recognizing the trauma that they have endured and experienced in their lives, they’re labeled a problem, and they’re not helped. Some of the difficulties they end up facing as adults continue to manifest because they didn’t get the help they needed as kids.”
Olivia
Olivia
Children’s Targeted Case Manager
“The relationships that you’ve built with people sometimes can be the most important thing — they just need that emotional support.”
Olivia describes how she helps struggling children, and their families find hope — whether that be through therapy, extracurricular activities, financial assistance, or even housing. What stands out to her most are the little things she’s able to do to meet each family’s needs consistently.
“I do this work because I can connect children with things that help them reach their potential in the future, but also to ensure they can have some fun and feel supported in the time that they’re in right now.”
Sara
Sara
Director of Operations, Children’s School-Linked and Case Management
Sara Benson is the Director of Operations of two of People Incorporated’s children’s programs – School Linked Mental Health and Children’s Targeted Case Management. She discusses how these programs support families in our community and how she’s seeing increased referrals due to kids’ elevated levels of trauma, depression, and anxiety.
Case management allows families to collaborate, consult and connect with case managers to get better access to resources, referrals to services, and social supports in their community. Our school-linked therapists, who are in 25 Twin Cities schools, bring outpatient therapy directly to each school setting, making getting the appropriate care more accessible.
Sara says, “Given all the different stressors that families are dealing with, it can be difficult to find time to take kids to outpatient therapy. So there is that value of kids being able to receive therapy within the school context during the course of their school day.”
