In the age of social media, it is easy to become overwhelmed by a flood of information on mental health. While awareness around mental health has improved, there are still potential dangers that need to be addressed. Shantala Boss, a licensed counselor, recently appeared on “Breakfast With Bridgett” to discuss Mental Health Awareness Month. She emphasized the importance of seeking guidance from qualified professionals when it comes to mental health concerns.
Boss pointed out that relying on influencers or information from social media algorithms may not always provide accurate or helpful information. Meeting with a licensed professional can ensure that individuals receive the appropriate support and guidance they need. Boss also highlighted that teenagers are especially vulnerable to being misinformed and experiencing mental health challenges in the current digital age.
It is crucial for individuals in Central Florida seeking mental health support to have access to resources regardless of whether they have health insurance.
