  • Sharing – Some Oklahoma parents turn kids over to the state after struggling to get mental health care for them

    ByMikeM Reading Time: 1 minute

    If you do not have significant resources available to you in terms of money, time, and connections, it is possible that the only way to get any treatment for your child is to turn them over to the state. 

    That’s no way to care for the next generation. 

  • Sharing – Why LGBTQ+ youth have high rate of mental health struggles and how to address them

    ByMikeM Reading Time: 2 minutes

    The bottom line is that when we talk about young LGBTQ+ people and the lack of acceptance they get from people closest to them, we run the risk of losing more of them to mental health issues. We could make a significant impact on youth mental health if we stopped stigmatizing and acting horribly towards people who are different than us. 

    If you’re not willing to do that, don’t tell me how much you care about mental health and young people.
