Recent events have allowed us to focus more on our mental health. This has been painful for many but at the same time has made it more acceptable to seek mental health treatment. Additionally, access to mental health services has increased in that Telehealth is an acceptable mode of receiving therapy, which may allow for individuals in more rural areas, those who have more limited access to transportation and individuals with varying physical and mental abilities to receive the care they need. Hopefully, this will lead to a reduced stigma on seeking services for mental health, a greater adherence to treatment and, overall, an ability for us to navigate this challenging time with the support we need.
How can we work to continue this quest both as individuals and as a community?
