The Mental Healthcare System Treats People Like Criminals | Ariela Safira, Founder of Zeera

In this conversation, we dive into the mind of Ariela Safira, a visionary determined to revolutionize the mental health care system. Ariela is the founder of Zeera, a modern telehealth platform that aims to "spotify" mental health through the principles of group therapy and a modernized approach that speaks to today’s social media-powered society. She is a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, the recipient of the American Psychiatric Association’s Innovation Award, and one of Inc's Top 100 Female Founders. With Ariela, we explore the idea of creating a "Spotify of Mental Health," the importance of educational reform in mental health awareness, why our healthcare system is at its worst when people need it the most, how to foster supportive environments both in the workplace and personally, and how to move beyond the stigmatization and criminalization often associated with mental health and substance use issues. Please give it a listen as we uncover how to "mental health" for ourselves and others, guided by a leading voice in the field.
