Hello everyone,

This has been something I've wanted to talk about at length for a long time. This is a brief introduction to a new webseries that I am going to be posting to my channel wherein I discuss various systemic issues in Mental Health. Most of it will be focused on my experience as a mental health practitioner in Texas, but I will hopefully touch on other topics as the series progresses.

Intro to Mental Health Series

Hello, I mentioned I wanted to do a series on problems in the mental health field and I've started working on that now. This "brief" overview is a bit of stream of consciousness, but going forward most of the episodes in the series will be far more structured and cohesive. There are a lot of topics to discuss within the filed, but I want to specifically touch on the system problems and failures surrounding mental health issues. I will eventually be breaking things down into very specific topics, but this is here as a way of getting the discussion started. I do hope you all find it informative, helpful, and I look forward to your feedback. I know that video is a bit janky here, and it's not visually stimulating, but I hope that won't dissuade you from listening in. -Samuel, LPC Trigger Warnings: Suicide, Trauma, Depression, Anxiety Suicide Hotline: 9-8-8 Substance abuse and Mental Health Services https://www.samhsa.gov/
