Mental Health Television Network

ByMikeM Reading Time: 1 minute

As I read items from my newsreader this weekend, I saw a reference to streaming service Zeam partnering with the Mental Health Television Network. This got my attention because I had no idea that MHTN existed until this weekend, and I feel like I should have.

It is a full-blown network. You can watch it yourself from their website.

I won’t make any claims about the network’s quality or content at this time. Like I said, I just found out it existed yesterday. But, if you’re looking for content on mental health, this could be a place to look for live programming or videos related to mental health topics.

A brief look at their YouTube channel showed me various topics. Some wouldn’t interest me, while others might. Your interests may not match mine, but it could be worth checking out.

Have you seen anything from MHTN before? What was your opinion?

    Go get some facts about human trafficking, because it’s probably a much larger issue than you think it is. During the month of January, advocates, organizations, and individuals unite to raise awareness about the issue of human trafficking.

  • Looking at Insurance Data to Identify What Works to Prevent Abuse in an Organization

    This makes sense. Even something as common and necessary as background checks are only going to catch people who’ve already been caught before. It’s a good thing to do, but it leaves that gap. What doesn’t leave a gap is having policies and procedures in place that prevent anyone from being able to abuse kids when working with your organization. If being alone with a child is simply not acceptable for anyone, that closes those gaps.

    As the article goes on, that means rules like not giving kids gifts, not driving them home, etc. That’s what works, and it has to just be the culture in the organization, no questions asked. Create that culture, and you’re making the best effort to protect kids that you can make.

    I strongly agree with this: “My biggest suggestion is that we need to have conversations about mental health with more than just people in the mental health community.

  • What is the Justice System For, Anyway?

    I found myself reading this interview with Dr. Mary Koss recently, and while I’m not 100% sure about the prospect of “Restorative Justice”, as she refers to it, I think that often, when we think about child sexual abuse, we fall into the same misconceptions about the legal system that she refers to when talking more broadly about sexual assault.

    Namely, that the legal system is not really designed to assist with the healing of a victim.

  • Sharing – Others Have it Worse

    I think there maybe a couple of reasons why we fall into this. Al mentions one of the big ones, this becomes a way to avoid really facing our own issues. Since our issues are “not as bad” as someone else we can point to, this becomes our excuse to simply accept them instead of trying to work on ourselves and do the hard work of healing. Similarly, I also think this is an example where so many of us don’t see ourselves as worthy of getting better. Our issues aren’t as bad, so we don’t really deserve to get treatment, or get support, or even admit that we need it. The truth, though, is that everyone is worth being supported and getting help when necessary. There is no one in this world who has never needed any support, no matter what kinds of trauma and struggles they are having, or how bad someone else might have it.
