3:12 pm
began advancing she started to dig deeper to explore ways. that technology could be beneficial. for humanity. i've always loved to tinker when i was younger. and in the last few years i been interested in coding and building various apps and tools. when a i boom started happening. i wanted to get my hand. on some of these. models to see to see what they're capable of, and in doing that. charlotte discovered what she is capable of. as 1 passionate about mental health and wellness. she decided to combine her. interests and creating a i too that helps people find mental health resources. more efficiently. lot of people don't actually have that much education and awareness. around how mental health works. what is mental? health? what are services that are available? it's the kind of awareness charlotte wishes her own family had growing up. after losing a
3:13 pm
parent charlotte has been on her own. journey of healing. and hopes to share that healing. with others. my dad actually passed away by suicide. when i was just 12 years old. i was actually 1 week before the quarantine started. and i think going through that whole. whole experience. of realizing just how much stigma there is around mental health. i've had to put myself in a position. where i have tried to heal by helping others. this is the landing page. >charlot. >>tool entitled search mental health has partnered. with the national alliance on mental illness. to expand the platform across california. by simply typing out one's feelings in the search bar. advanced filters provide infirm. for relevant contacts. without all the medical chart. and, according to mark salazar, the ceo of the mental health
3:14 pm
association of san francisco. he believes ai i can be an effective approach to encourage people to seek help. but it's only 1 small step in the process. people can develop. >those >>tools. those are great. >um, >>but the caveat >have >>should be that these aren't the be all end all resources. >and >>and that you can explore. >explore >>other services and supports out there. but >that >>then i >think >>using a i as a tool is >pray >>a great >model. rather rather than the solution. itself. as for charlotte, she just wants to let people know. there are solutions. what really important is doing doing things for social good doing things for the people that we love the community. that we love. and it's the love for her father. that fuels her path. forward. >liz>yeah. if you are anyone, you know, is struggling. just call all text 988. for the nationals. suicide. and crisis like someone is always available. to talk. 20. hours a day. and joining me now is dr
3:15 pm
ceta patels. she is a licensed clinical. psychologist. as an associate. professor. of psychology. at palo alto university. thanks so much for being >tfxw mic>here. thank you >liz>for having me so mental health is something that we're hearing more and more people talk about. either. celebrities. and athletes. talking about their own struck we're hearing people talk about it on social media. it's not the taboo topic. that it was say 5 years ago, but yet we're still struggling to find people who can help with mental health struggles. why do you think that is >tfxw mic>there's a number of things happening. 1. the communities that are comfortable talk about mental health don't encompass all communities in the bay area. or in california. so there are still a lot of communities. immigrant refugee population. for example. or those for whom? stig around. many different health concerns. but mental health and particular is still quite high. so we don't see a universal i think reduction in stigma. and then related lee there. aren't enough. specialties. services. that address the needs of specific
3:16 pm
populations. so there might be general, services available, but if you have specific kinds of diagnoses or life experience or identities even you might need to have somebody with that kind of specialized training or exposure. >liz>now we mentioned more. and more people are talking about mental health issues. but do you think the rate of people expect mental health crisis or issues of their own? do you think there actually going up? or do you think that more people are just recognizing that they have a problem and before? they didn't really have the information? identify >tfxw mic>that i think it's >liz>both? >>okay? so i think we are seeing now. really clear research. that all of what happened with the pandemic. schools shut down. people. and isil. at home. kids having huge gaps in their education. their socialization that's having a really clear now direct. link to anxiety and depression. and mental health symptom. we definitely see >liz>that >>and then i think on top of that there just aren't enough provides. too. provide. the
3:17 pm
services to all of those who need it. so yes, people are more comfortable talking about mental health, but there isn't enough. in terms of how many people are available to provide >liz>services. so what's being done to help encourage people? all to seek professions in the mental. health >tfxw mic>field. yeah, well, i think you know, california. is giving a lot more. resources. toward mental health. train. so that's wonderful. i work at palo alto university. we have a number of programs 1 of which is a new program. masters in social work, and it just received a california grant. to develop. a program. specifically for increasing capacity in california. so that the topics the laws the licensure. is all really tailored. to california. and you know, we're university that's been around for 50 years. and focused on on behavioral health. but i think we still need more. resource. in terms of scholarship. funding. so that people can pursue education. that sometimes takes 2345 years. and i think that's a real barrier. so for people to be able to
3:18 pm
pause the rest of their life and devote time to an education like an extensive psychology training is is sometimes. difficult. so i think more creative programs where people can do things online. get their education. during workouts off work, hours and times that are more accessible. will really help. >liz>you mentioned the pandemic earlier, and i'm curious. how big of an effect that's going to have on generations to come. and if there's going to be a trickle down effect we talked about how students experience loneliness. isil. from their friends during those really important developmental years, but what about adults? what kind of impact has the pandemic had on >tfxw mic>them? yeah. we see a trickle down. effect. you know? it's funny because the work from home reality has some benefits. right people can have more flexibility and at the same time i have clients coming into my practice. who say you know there is no barrier now between my home life and my work >liz>life? >>um or i'm feeling the effects of the pandemic. now years
3:19 pm
later, and they're having you know, flashback. of those kinds of moments so and these are people who are parenting and trying to live their lives. and so that's then impact. children, so i think the need is definitely not just among you. the need is different, depending on what developmental stage you're in. and what your life includes. >liz>and i can imagine. specifically here in the bay area, so many parents as we know have to work because it's very expensive to live here. and raising children the bay area. is stressful, have prime the right education all with stresses that the parents go through. i can imagine that you see it. used to here. here. definitely >tfxw mic>more. absolutely. yeah, i mean, we need so many. services for parents and to support um juggle. so many different domains in life, and so we definitely see that in our in our practice. and that's 1 of the things that some mental health providers can really specialize in his support. parents. and even having comprehensive services can be really helpful. so i have colleagues who specialize in working with families. and what that my look like is being in the school. system or
3:20 pm
working with the parents. at home or these really kind of innovative. and multi tiered multi systemic ways of addressing mental health. and i think that's often most effective. really. really partnering. with community. agency. i think is wonderful. in how many practicum training set we have. we have hundreds where students can can train in these settings. that are specialized in in those population. but also that kind of get us out of the ivory tower and into the spaces. that that people are operating in um that's often 1 of the barriers to receiving treatment. is actually just getting in the front >liz>door. >>so if we can get to where they are that that really makes >liz>a difference. to patel from palo alto university. thank you so >tfxw mic>much. >>for being here. >tfxw mic>great. >>information. all right, >tfxw mic>coming >>up. fighting a growing lonely epidemic. the bay area. county, making a major investment to help people. connect.
