Foundation aims to improve access to mental health services for young people

Many children and adolescents who struggle with their feelings aren’t getting the mental health care they need. That’s partly due to the fact that there aren’t enough therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists. The Access Psychology Foundation is working to change that with evidence-based treatments to reach kids in crisis.

  1. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be Saved; And thy House.
    Acts 16:31kjv

    But to him that Worketh Not, But Believeth on Him that JUSTIFIETH the Ungodly, his Faith is Counted for Righteousness. Even as David also Describeth the Blessedness of the man, Unto whom God IMPUTETH Righteousness Without Works, Saying, Blessed are they whose INIQUITIES are FORGIVEN, And whose Sins are COVERED. Blessed is the man to whom The LORD Will Not IMPUTE Sin.
    Romans 4:5-8kjv ( Psalm 32:1-2kjv)

    These things have I written unto you that 👉 Believe 👈 on the Name of the Son of God, That Ye may 👉 KNOW that Ye HAVE Eternal Life 👈 And that Ye may Believe on the Name of the Son of God.
    1 John 5:13kjv

  2. Why aren't you happy? AIPAC controls American politicians with millions of dollars.. While these Arab rulers support the American economy with billions of dollars for nothing in return, only friendship. Zionism has exposed you. You were bothering us with animal and human rights, while thousands of children and women were being killed in Gaza. Don't even talk about it, and you know it. The world has learned the hypocrisy of the West. Oh my God, I have to feed my cat. 2 million are besieged from food and medicine. Hypocrites, hypocrites

  6. There have been more and more groups claiming to want to improve children and teen's MH for decades now yet it only keeps getting worse and worse. The lack of counselors is not the problem, it's the culture they're immersed in that exist 40-50 years ago. That's the problem. And until that's fixed, it's never going to get better.

  7. Tragically in the American healthcare system we still don’t view mental health in the lens that we should. Someone goes into a doctors office and says I have a mental health problem like a depression and overwhelming majority of the time we treat depression with appeal. Of course there are problems with treating depression with a pill anytime your medication levels are off You will likely have problems mentally. Problems you aren’t accustomed to dealing with unless you’re at your right medication level. You either feel really up or you feel really down and the only way you’ve ever dealt with that is medication. There are some people who are depressed. who need to be on medication people suffering from severe depression, but most people shouldn’t be on medication who suffer from depression. Most people should actually be talking to a therapist, learning how to work through depressing episodes learning how to deal with the mental illness they suffer from. But when we prescribed the pill to someone to treat a mental illness, the pharmaceutical company makes a lot of money so that’s what we do. Ironically, in case someone wanted to know the cost the same amount of money to treat a mental illness with a pill as it does to treat it with a therapist, but you typically see better results with a therapist.
