Mental Health in School
To address this issue, we must implement improved mental health counseling in schools as a primary mechanism for supporting troubled youth. Providing access to licensed mental health professionals ensures that students have a safe, constructive outlet to navigate the stress and anxiety that come with our modern lifestyle.
Increased Access to Mental Health Counselors: Every school should have enough mental health professionals to ensure students receive timely support. A recommended ratio is one counselor for every 250 students to provide adequate care.
Mental Health in America: Turning Talk into Action
Increase Funding for Community-Based Mental Health Facilities: Every community in America should have access to outpatient mental health services, providing affordable and timely care close to home. Expanding community-based care ensures that mental health services are accessible to people where they live, breaking down barriers like distance and cost.
Incentivize Mental Health Professionals: To meet the growing demand for mental health services, we need to address the workforce shortage by encouraging more people to enter the mental health profession. This can be achieved by:
Offering free community college programs for mental health-related fields to reduce the financial burden of education.
Providing student loan forgiveness for those who enter and remain in mental health careers, particularly in underserved areas.
Increasing salaries and benefits for mental health workers to reflect the critical role they play in public health.
