Biltmore Who's Who Selects Janet S. Mantia as an Honored Member of the Executive and Professional Registry
The selection recognizes Janet S. Mantia's commitment to excellence in Psychology and Healthcare.
- Phoenix-Mesa, AZ (1888PressRelease) June 08, 2011 - Janet S. Mantia (formerly Janet S. Stegall-Tackleson of Burlington, Iowa), Psychology Associate for the Arizona Department of Corrections, has been selected as an Honored Member of the Biltmore Who's Who Executive and Professional Registry. The selection recognizes Janet S. Mantia's commitment to excellence in Psychology and Healthcare.
Mantia, who holds a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, followed by a Master's Degree in Professional Counseling, both from Ottawa University, and postgraduate work in trauma, abuse and deprivation, began working in her field in 1999 as a case manager for the seriously mentally ill population within her community.
After earning her master's degree in 2001, Mantia began working for Triple R Behavioral Health. She worked with the same population, doing intake assessments for their residential and clubhouse programs. During that time, she completed her testing and became a licensed professional counselor.
After having been laid off in 2004, Mantia pursued a position with the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections (ADJC) and was offered a position at Eagle Point School in Buckeye.
"I found that the youth were resistant to treatment and resistant to change," Mantia explained. "After working with them for a few years, I transferred to the adult system and found that the adults were not required to participate in mental health treatment. I found the inmates that I work with to me be more interested in help and change, which makes the job more rewarding."
Mantia is assigned four yards, where she is responsible for a population of approximately nine hundred to one thousand inmates with mental health issues. When meeting with inmates who are transferred in from other facilities, she completes a basic assessment for mental health needs and informs them of services available to them. Primarily individual counseling or anger management are available if they need or want to participate in treatment. Mantia also has a shared responsibility for inmates that are on suicide watch, and also does routine paperwork and notes on inmate contact, as well as scheduling appointments, posting lists for security and giving copies to medical records for assistance in pulling files she will need for the appointments.
"I feel that my personal compassion and spirituality play a big role in encouraging change and possibility thinking," Mantia said about her career and influence that she has on her patients. "For them to know that you understand why they behave the way they do and that they can overcome and change is very powerful."
Mantia also noted that her post graduate certification in trauma, abuse and deprivation earned her the knowledge that she draws on regularly, due to the fact that most of the inmates have usually come from a background that included at least one of those factors. She is also a certified psychosocial rehabilitation professional.
