In every corner of mental health right now, a similar story is being told. There simply aren’t enough providers.
from the California Health Care Foundation shows that the Bay Area has 19 licensed psychiatrists and 73 licensed psychologists per 100,000 people –more than the state averages of 12 and 44. At the other end of the spectrum, the San Joaquin Valley has six psychiatrists and 16 psychologists for the equivalent number of people.Jessica Dominguez, a licensed marriage and family therapist at Kaiser Richmond who is currently on strike, said the Bay Area has plenty of providers.
What we do know: We need more and better data. For instance, some experts say the increase described by Ghaly does not reflect how many licensed providers are actually seeing patients, nor does it capture how many are seeing people who are uninsured or on Medi-Cal.this year that would require the Department of Health Care Access and Information to prepare a report for the Legislature by Jan.
Many clinicians, especially providers of color, also say they are simply not getting enough emotional support from their employers. Dominguez, the Kaiser therapist, said she founded La Clinica, a nationally recognized pilot program to serve Spanish-speaking clients, in 2016. When tragedies happen in the community, she said, they impact clinicians, too. But, “you’re just expected to plug along and keep going,” she said.
“People talk about loving the work,” he said. “For people to leave this work is an incredible emotional sacrifice.” In August, state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond announced that he had secured funding toto serve the state’s students. That effort is key to the Department of Education’s push to increase mental health care provided in schools.
