No Cookie Cutter Approaches to Mental Health - with Dr. Tara Miller: A significant portion of the U.S. population lives in areas lacking mental-health workers.

The global pandemic has exacerbated this shortage by accelerating the departure of tenured therapists, combined with the lack of entrants into the field, particularly in rural communities and communities of color. Dr. Tara Miller, Ph.D., is a Licensed Counselor, National Certified Counselor, Master Addictions Counselor, Certified Professional Counseling Supervisor, Board Certified Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Clinician, and Certified Anger Management Specialist in her hometown, a city with a population of 5,000.

Arming the Resource to Be More Human - with Dr. Allessandria Plozzi: As much as the organization has the most significant responsibility for creating a psychologically healthy and safe environment, it would be naive to suggest that focusing on resiliency for people in the organization is not also important.

There are simply times when the work is complex and the hazards associated, especially with work responsibilities outside the organization’s control.

The Financial Security and Safety Connection - with Jerel Harvey: The guest for this episode is Jerel Harvey, founder of Fedway Financial. One of the factors that influence people’s decisions to stay in jobs that they hate and tolerate exposure to toxic culture is related to their financial situation. When a worker is being exposed to micro-aggressive behavior, hazing, bullying, harassment, or even violence, the decision to speak up, ask for help, and especially seek other opportunities is often directly tied to the target’s ability to meet their basic needs for healthcare (which is often controlled by the employer), shelter and food, as well as the targe’s attachments to their standard of living. Those more financially secure are likelier to push back against harmful behavior. For other than those born to wealth, financial security takes not only determination, time, and effort; it takes a plan.
