MIA contributor Sera Davidow writes an opinion piece in the Boston Globe critiquing those who argue fiercely for more access to mental health treatment without acknowledging that many of our current approaches are not working. She then highlights several new and innovative mental health programs appearing in the state. “Many people’s lives have been changed, and (some would say) even saved as a result of these innovative efforts that differ so substantially from conventional methods in the way they regard why someone may be struggling, how they might make meaning of the experience, and what supports will maximize potential for healing,” she writes.

Yes. I paid $4 to get a temporary membership (which I then cancelled) to comment on this article. It seems like a bit of a waste. But speaking up has its own value.
