I Am a Nurse and I Want to Start a Business as an Intervention Specialist for Adolescents. How Can I Do This?
Question by Jessie: I am a nurse and I want to start a business as an intervention specialist for adolescents. How can I do this?
I work in a facility for youth with mental health and addiction problems. I have recently realized I really want to be part of the intervention team even though I would still want to contribute the medical part of the treatment area. I’m curious how I would go about setting up my own business. Does anyone have any ideas on this matter? I would truly appreciate any and all serious answers. Thanks!

To be truly helpful and beneficial to your community, you should remain part of a team. However, it is possible your facility administrators would consider looking into an outreach program to take services beyond the institution’s walls.
That might well involve appointing someone to chair a committee to professionally investigate, first, the need, and secondly, the available resources – it’s gotta be paid for, obviously – and thirdly, how to go about establishing the service. Would it be able to operate out of the existing facility? Would it need separate quarters? Who would staff it? How would the community be made aware of the new service?
How would services be billed? What additional certification/licenses would the municipality/county/state require? Is it possible YOU could be requested to chair this committee?
We’ve done that here in upstate New York, and not only does experience show it’s much more viable to remain or become part of an existing institution rather than strike out on one’s own – it teaches that there’s a hell of a lot of work involved that has little to do with interventions – work that calls for specialties you’re not at all capable of handling. Yours is a good idea – but it’s going to take quite a bit to get started. I’d suggest an exploratory meeting with management at your facility as a beginning.

You should have an excellent network of colleagues to seek advice from. If not, why not?
Interventions usually involve people who are family and/or close friends of the target.
Also, I question your decision-making level of maturity based on the fact that you’re asking such an important question HERE!
It’s hard to believe that your QUESTION is serious, however my answer is.
