THANK YOUR THERAPIST INITIATIVE
The Thank Your Therapist Initiative was created to recognize mental health professionals for their contribution and efforts to impact lives for good.
6 Reasons why we created this initiative:
1. Therapists are under-appreciated.
2. Therapists are burnt out.
3. There is a stigma around therapy.
4. There is no tangible way of seeing someone's progress, only experiences and stories.
5. Therapists are busier now than ever.
6. We want everyone to recognize the impact that therapists make in the lives of many and the communities around them.
How we recognize Therapists
1. Promoting recognition and appreciation for our mental health professionals.
2. Sharing stories of impact form the result of mental health professionals.
3. Recognizing specific mental health professionals making an impact in their field.
How You Can Help
The world is finally waking up to realize that mental health is important and mental health should be prioritized. The stigma around mental health and mental illness getting better and better. However, individuals don’t recognize who carries the burden of poor mental health in the world and the ever increasing demand for services to improve the state of mental health in the world. Much of it lies upon the shoulders of mental health professionals - therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, etc. They carry the burden of actually solving this problem and helping individuals improve their mental wellbeing to find satisfaction in the world.
