@lld2135@mmt98 But I also wonder if the screenings were to take place in schools and be universal for all students if that would reduce scrutiny and maybe normalize mental health screening and treatment 🤷♀️
@lld2135@mmt98 Yes I agree that a drs office is probably the better place for screening but I would hope that students who are identified as needing counseling support could then access it and schools might be the best place for that if we can increase school therapists/social workers
@mmt98@lld2135 This issue is just making me wonder about how effective anti-stigma campaigns can be if quality, affordable treatment isn’t available to all. Removing the barrier of stigma doesn’t remove all barriers to treatment. Thanks for your post @lld2135
@mmt98@lld2135 I think school based assessment/treatment runs the risk of stigmatizing and potentially segregating students, but it may also be the most effective way to deliver free treatment. I am concerned about students being screened but then not having a path to resources
@mmt98 Good question. I think by publicly acknowledging that mental health care is underfunded in our state and that young people in NV are suffering with mental health challenges and suicidal thoughts another door is opened to talking about mental health openly which reduces stigma.
@mmt98#CSSWMMT22 https://t.co/LJcr3dRo5l Glad to see my state dedicating money to suicide prevention and mental health care! The new suicide hotline number 988 goes into effect July 16.

It’s really powerful to read about students’ personal experiences with social media and how it has influenced their body image and mental health https://t.co/xY6blC7N70

This was an interesting reflection that despite amazing advances in neuroscience they haven’t yet been translated into a benefit for patients

@mmt98#CSSWMMT22 The statistic that really stood out to me in this article was that 30,177 veterans who have served since Sept 11 have died by suicide and 7,057 have been killed in military operations.
