Mental Health-Scare in Schools

Pamela Garfield-Jaeger has worked as an LCSW for over 20 years in a variety of settings and programs. Most recently she worked with teens in school and outpatient settings. She realized that the vast majority of parents are unprepared to engage the Mental Health system from a position on knowledge and understanding. She is here to help educate parents on what to expect and how to interact with a very complicated and insular system. Topics of this conversation include: * school counselors being horrible;* involving parents;* parental rights;* how wrong our mental health system is;* how therapy speak is ruining us all;* how kids shouldn’t be encouraged to be peer counselors;and whatever else is on her mind… Follow Pam on X @truththerapist, and check out her website, work, public speaking and service offerings here: https://linktr.ee/thetruthfultherapist Get full access to The Reason We Learn at thereasonwelearn.substack.com/subscribe--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/debf/support Get full access to The Reason We Learn at thereasonwelearn.substack.com/subscribe
