Did you know there’s a massive shortage of mental health clinicians in the U.S.? Last year, on the Mental Health Today Podcast with Ken Stearns and Brandon Resasco, founder of Gotham Enterprises Ltd, Brandon discussed the significant shortage of mental health clinicians in the United States. Understanding the scale of the shortage is crucial, and there is an urgent need to address the growing demand for mental health support in the U.S., especially as mental health becomes increasingly recognized and prioritized by society. As mental health becomes more normalized and talked about openly, this demand is only going to rise. #MentalHealth #Healthcare #MentalHealthCare #Telehealth #Therapists #MentalHealthAwareness #HealthcareIndustry #MentalHealthMatters

💭 Did you know? Only 11% of those with a substance use disorder seek care voluntarily. In this insightful conversation, Nick Jaworski, a Contrarian Mental Health Advocate and an expert in addiction treatment and recovery, discusses the challenge of getting individuals to seek help. As he explains to Ken Stearns, despite a clear diagnosis, most people don’t actively look for treatment — often, it’s families, workplaces, or even the court system pushing for intervention. There is a need for better access and support systems to help those who aren’t ready to seek help on their own. #AddictionRecovery #MentalHealthAwareness #SubstanceUseDisorder #AddictionTreatment #FamilySupport #RecoveryJourney #MentalHealthMatters #SupportSystems
