Early intervention and prevention, treatment is key, and that's what we're really trying to do at region- and a number of mental health organizations are doing as well- is really working on battling mental health stigma, because there's a lot of stigma in our community around seeking mental health supports and services, and even in the language that we use.
What happens when the world faces a collective trauma? In this episode of 'Speaking Candidly with Candace', host Candace Schoner dives deep into the different types of trauma—'Little T' and 'Big T'—and how the pandemic has reshaped mental health care. Candace chats with mental health professionals who share their firsthand experiences and insights on trauma-informed care. They discuss how the pandemic has not only increased mental health challenges but also highlighted the urgent need for early intervention and prevention.
The conversation touches on the stigma surrounding mental health, emphasizing how our language can either help or hinder those seeking support. The episode also sheds light on the Community Resilience Initiative, showcasing the power of community in fostering mental well-being. With a critical look at the shortage of mental health professionals, Candace and her guests explore how this gap affects access to essential services.
They also stress the importance of racial and cultural sensitivity in treatment, and how peer counseling can be a game-changer in mental health recovery. As the discussion unfolds, it becomes clear that the mental health crisis is far from over, but there are pathways to resilience and recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of trauma and mental health in today's world.
