Presentation
This presentation provides a brief overview of the crisis narrative of mental health along with a review of the negative consequences on treatment and support systems. Join us for a brief introduction to long-term strategic planning for mental health services, including the utility of population-based services that balance immediate, stigma-free access to support with clinical rigor and 24/7 safeguarding, such as Togetherall.
Ben Locke, Ph.D., heads up the Togetherall clinical team, which provides sector-leading levels of support and risk management in the digital mental health space. Dr. Locke is focused on ensuring that 24/7/365 clinical monitoring of the Togetherall community keeps our global membership base safe and supported. He is a licensed psychologist with over 20 years in senior clinical roles in higher education and a range of clinical settings, including hospitals. Dr. Locke was the Director of the Center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State University for nearly two decades, developing a revolutionary tool known as the Clinical Load Index (CLI) that has since been widely adopted by colleges and universities across the US to establish treatment capacity. Dr. Locke holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Boston College.
