Providing Community, Resources & Support to Mental Health Professionals
Mental Health Professionals come from all walks of life and have a variety of experiences. We have different levels of education, focus areas within mental health, and different work environments. Some of us work in health care facilities, others in offices, and some in the community in our client’s homes. Some have a bachelor’s degree, others a master’s degree, and many of us are licensed. Some receive great training before seeing client’s and others not so much. Some of us have excellent or adequate guidance and feedback in our jobs and sometimes it is lacking.
Welcome to Support for Mental Health Professionals
There does seem to be some things all mental health professionals have in common.
The work can be difficult & stressful and there never seems to be enough time.
We know that mental health professionals are often juggling a number of responsibilities from seeing clients to completing paperwork. The stress can escalate quickly if you're trying your best but still feel overwhelmed by all that needs done in order provide quality care. From social workers to community therapists to case managers, clinicians need a safe space to take care of themselves.
What does research say is needed to reduce stress for mental health professionals? Ideas abound, if you have the time to google search and pull together the resources from the multitude of professional organizations and websites to figure out what you should be doing. But since COVID, who has time for that?
