How to Foster Everyone's Health and Well-Being? Invest in the Mental Healthcare Workforce as a Public Good

  • Summary

  • In this episode, Carla B. Monteiro gets real about her financial and personal struggles as a single mom, her experiences with depression and anxiety, and what it was like working as a social worker through Covid. She highlights the myriad ways that people overlook and miscommunicate the symptoms of depression and anxiety, leading to late diagnosis and missed treatment opportunities. She shares stories and offers timely and strategic solutions to the challenges facing the mental health care workforce and the structural burdens — from income and housing insecurity to gun violence — many social work students of color and those from low socio-economic backgrounds carry as they complete their degrees and enter the workforce. She offers a list of resources to help you find treatment for yourself or a loved one.
