Host Dave Roberts welcomes Janelle Miller Moravek, a nonprofit leader and mental health advocate who has served as executive director of Youth and Family Counseling (YFC) since 2009. Janelle describes coming from a culture that didn’t discuss feelings, recognizing her own anxiety later, and becoming committed to expanding access to care. She and Dave discuss barriers for emerging young adults including among other things, affordability, therapists not taking insurance, limited Medicaid providers and high out-of-pocket costs. Janelle advocates for reimbursement at cost, licensure reciprocity, prevention and behavioral health literacy, more recess and manageable school workloads, and urges listeners: don’t wait to seek help; get screened or assessed.
