Caroline Cotto: A Passion for Mental Health and Social Work

Caroline came to do this work by accident, initially working in a psychiatric hospital in the northeast.  After spending some time with the patients, Caroline realized how much she admired and cared for them.  She wanted more impact on their care and quality of treatment so she went back to school to get her Master’s degree in social work.  Caroline has a Bachelor’s degree in Social Science Interdisciplinary from Stony Brook University and a Master of Social Work from East Carolina University.

Caroline has worked in an outpatient mental health clinic, inpatient psychiatric unit, hospital emergency department, in client’s homes and in a detox crisis center.  She also taught as an adjunct instructor for two years at UNCC.

“I need to care about what I do, it’s not just a job.  Maybe cringey but I love that quote, “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.” by Theodore Roosevelt.  It’s a blessing to do this.”
