Jason Ingram, JD, MA, MSW, LICSW, SPHR, SHRM-SCP has nearly 20 years of experience in human resources management and workforce development; social work; policy; and general management. He has spent the last 5 years successfully developing and delivering professional continuing education courses to licensed mental health professionals. As an educator and classically trained sociologist, Jason uses his sociological imagination, as coined by C. Wright Mills, to highlight the relationship between individual experiences and the larger society. Through this lens, he weaves together sociological, social welfare, and psychological theories with legal doctrines and practical insights at the macro-, meso-, and micro- levels for the creation of thought-provoking courses. His pedagogical approach to continuing education is intentional and meant to engage the social, political, and psychological development of practitioners as lifelong learners. His course topics draw on his diverse experiences and critical areas of mental health practice both to impact the professional discourse and, ultimately, to improve health care outcomes. Jason's earned his Master of Arts in Sociology and Education from Columbia University, Master of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania, and Juris Doctor from The Catholic University of America.
