Episode Overview

America is experiencing a mental health crisis of epic proportions. Exacerbating this is the issue of supply and demand: there are many people in need of mental health services and not enough therapists providing services. No matter where one turns, we see the symptoms of unchecked mental health: increasing rates of suicidal ideation and suicide, depression, homelessness, drug abuse, and more. If ever there was a time in which we needed therapists of all types - social workers, psychologists, and counselors - today is that day! 

Enter Dr. Jennifer Preston, Department Chair for the Saybrook University Counseling program. In just a few years since the program's beginning, enrollment has grown exponentially, they have added a Ph.D. program to support the faculty pipeline, and their graduates are going on to jobs across the United States. Known for its rigor, commitment to humanistic values, and exceptional training, the program continues to see outstanding outcomes in its graduates. No doubt, the Saybrook Counseling program is one essential element in addressing the mental health crisis.

Today’s episode of Saybrook Insights features the beginning of several university trustee spotlights in which we dig in with Board members about their backgrounds, their work in the community, and a little exploration as to why they joined the Saybrook Board of Trustees. Carmen and I had a wonderful discussion with Angelina Salazar, a newly elected trustee who joined us in the Fall of 2020. She is the CEO of the Western Healthcare Alliance and is passionate about rural healthcare, healthcare access, and ensuring that as many people who need healthcare can get it. She’s a visionary leader with strong ties to Southern California and to her current home state of Colorado. As she notes, we have much work to do nationwide where healthcare is concerned generally; and specifically, our rural communities are just as in need of excellent healthcare delivery as are our urban and suburban centers. Angelina and her team of dedicated hospital executives and practitioners are in fact doing the work to expand and enhance rural healthcare across America today as evidenced by the WHA. Great ideas around innovation and opportunity abound in this episode! Enjoy! 

Today’s episode of Saybrook Insights is a rebroadcast of our Women in Mental Health panel presentation hosted by the Divisions of Student Affairs and University Relations. We were pleased to have a candid discussion surrounding the challenges, stigmas, and potential solutions with these leaders who serve in different capacities across the mental healthcare landscape. Our facilitator is Saybrook faculty member, Dr. Walker Ladd and our panelists included Shayla Betts (LCSW), Dr. Kelly Serafini, Dr. Elizabeth Miller, and Saybrook’s new Dean of the College of Social Sciences, Dr. Charlotte Hamilton.
