The main place we need more mental health counselors is in American public schools. Right now we have one mental health counselor for every 1500 children...yet we have school “trauma rooms”...and elementary school kids on suicide watch!
Highlight: “Why are so many Americans so unhappy that they need mental health counseling at work?” @marwilliamson asks about major corporations offering mental health counseling at work. “What are we doing and not doing as a society that so many people are in despair?”

Yes, @marwilliamson is absolutely right. When I was a kid, people had one industry careers, sometimes one company careers that paid the bills and kept the family fed and safe. Today people hold 2 and 3 jobs just to make rent. And we know how the rest plays out.

This is #BigTruth. In middle and high schools, counselors struggle to meet with students. They are responsible for such tasks as scheduling, IEP meetings, lunch duty, administering & collecting tests. The list goes on.

And folks like myself get shamed for homeschooling and not trusting drs. I want my children to be safe, free, and have time to explore what they love.

You're right. It's unacceptable and heartbreaking.

The Political Climate created by Trump's Corrupt Administration was so negative that 1,300,000 Americans attempted SUICIDE in 2017 alone! The children and young people are even more vulnerable.

stock market economies "con" of buying and selling human energy and reality disconnected from living with earth soil bankrupted by con-ag trade deals and genetic manufactured seed diminishing health in a health industry of chemical solutions dependent on stock market economies

call me "crazy", I think the main place we need mental health services is in the government for the Politicians ~ if this were a "real" democracy, there would be equality. Children know they are being lied to.

Police out, kind helpers in. That's obviously what's needed.
