How the Shortage of Mental Health Workers is Impacting Care

Mission Prep and Aja Chavez recently shared insights on the growing shortage of mental health professionals and its impact on individuals seeking care. As demand for mental health services continues to rise, the lack of available providers has made it increasingly difficult for people to access timely and effective treatment.

This shortage has created significant challenges, from longer wait times for therapy appointments to increased burnout among existing mental health workers. Without sufficient resources and trained professionals, those in need may struggle to receive the support they deserve.

At Mission Prep, we recognize the urgent need for more mental health professionals and advocate for solutions that expand access to care. Investing in education, training programs, and systemic changes is crucial in addressing this crisis and ensuring that individuals can receive the help they need.
