Granite State Debate with 2022 District 2 Candidates: A Mental Health Crisis
The next question comes from the moderator’s desk. New Hampshire’s mental health system continues to struggle to meet demand for services. Which legislation do you support or is this a state responsibility to promote or facilitate the training and employment of mental health professionals? MR.. Again, I think a lot of this staff is in the states. You know, it’s not just mental health, it’s children with disabilities. As you know, I was on some forums the other day and learned a lot. But I think the state is best at addressing and figuring it out. But talk more about mental health I know you have to. You must be 21 or older to buy tobacco in this state. But any 12-year-old can sit on TOCK and social media for 6, 7, 8 hours a day. The constant stream and frankly, even your commercials and the fearmongering they do contribute to this mental health issue we have. It is, you know, a constant stream of body image issues that girls have and boys pretending to have a Ferrari in TIKTOK in this constant of all this money. I believe that there are children pretending to be. , but they really aren’t. But it’s the source of these mental health issues and we need to know how many kids are on all of these networks, streams, and social media accounts and regulate them. . Congressman, what legislation would you support to promote or facilitate mental health training in your area? This is important, but it’s also important, for example, to make sure you train and build your workforce first. One of the few silver linings to breaking free from the opioid epidemic is that there are many people who have received the treatment they need and who have chosen to return to work with both mental health and substance abuse treatment. is. get into this. And I think that’s a really important new development. Another part I want to talk about is actually immigration. We recently succeeded in encouraging the Northern Border Regional Commission to handle the program. As for J-1 visas for doctors in the north, hospitals in the north have been having a hard time recruiting. And this helps with maintenance. I would like to expand it and am already discussing with my colleagues how to expand that session.
