Amidst the skyrocketing demand for mental health support in recent years, there is a critical shortage of licensed mental health professionals to meet the growing need. This shortage is making it increasingly difficult for many individuals and families with mental health issues to access the care they need, with only 28% of the current need being met. However, telehealth services like Counslr can help reach a traditionally unreachable population and ensure that all people have access to the mental health services they need and deserve. #telehealthawarenessweek #counslr #mentalhealth

Mental health is for everyone—and everyone deserves mental health support when they need it. It's Mental Health Awareness Month #MHAM2024, and it's time to talk about culturally competent mental healthcare. Members of racial and ethnic minority groups experience challenges that may require unique mental health support. When providing mental health support, providers should respect and celebrate cultural differences. Mental health care providers must consider the cultural nuances and needs of the diverse communities they serve—and addressing and reducing barriers to treatment are the first steps to building more equitable health systems. #MentalHealthMatters Learn more at FindSupport.gov.

This July, we honor National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month by shining a light on the unique mental health challenges faced by minority communities.

Let's break the stigma, celebrate diversity, and advocate for equitable mental health care. Together, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone. 💙 #MinorityMentalHealth #EndTheStigma #InclusiveCare #MentalHealthForAll #modernmepsychology
