A state boundary line shouldn’t be what stops someone from getting the best help they can get, or at least that's what the Ohio Legislature decided Wednesday.
The state will soon join the Counseling Compact, which allows all licensed mental health counselors to practice in member states, either in person or by telehealth.
"[The pandemic] kind of held a magnifying glass up to [mental health,]" the clinical counselor said."It kind of said, 'Hey, these things are important to attend to, and if not properly attended to, they can become really detrimental to our overall health.'" "Counselors play a vital role in addressing the mental health crisis for individuals and also of our state and nation," she said."So anything we can do to help get them out there to provide their services, you know, we should all agree on getting that done."
"There's no question that there is a workforce crisis in the field of mental and behavioral health care, and I'm not ignorant of that," he added."The thing that I love about the compact is it will increase hopefully workforce without deteriorating the standards of the quality of care that we're able to provide."
Ohio would be the 11th state — making care accessible for people in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, Utah and West Virginia.
