Kaiser Don't Deny: Matt Haney stands with mental health therapists

Описание: San Francisco Supervisor Matt Haney stands with mental health therapists of the National Union of Healthcare Workers.

Kaiser Permanente mental health clinics are understaffed across California, and the HMO’s lone San Francisco clinic has reached a breaking point. Children, many of whom are dealing with depression, anxiety, and the impacts of bullying, now have to wait four to six weeks for their first face-to-face visit with a Kaiser mental health therapist — and just as long or longer for a return appointment.

Group therapy sessions for children who are self-harming and contemplating suicide have become so crowded that some children and their parents have to sit on the floor because there aren’t enough therapists to provide them the one-on-one care needed for successful early intervention.

The National Union of Healthcare Workers is a worker-led movement dedicated to improving the lives of caregivers and patients.
