"There is good reason to wonder whether collecting all types of suffering into medicalized mental health disorders is the most accurate or ethical approach when it comes to addressing these crises," says Dr. Zenobia Morrill. She emphasizes that students desire more complex understandings of mental health and therapy, but lack the necessary mentorship and resources to develop these skills. This indicates a need for a shift in the educational approach to mental health care.
Zack Osheroff, a youth social worker, argues that too much clinical work focuses solely on helping individuals cope with present societal issues without aiming for change. He believes it's crucial to not merely teach acceptance of societal injustices. Instead, interventions should empower individuals to challenge the status quo and envision a better future, suggesting an imbalance in existing therapeutic practices.
