Behavioral Health in America is Badly Broken: The Episodes Project Has A Solution

This bold podcast addresses the failure of most behavioral health systems across America for many decades. Tom McNulty, M.S., with 45+ years in behavioral health (mental illness and addiction), is joined by Invizion's president and president of Episodes Motion Pictures, Peter C. Hertsgaard, M.F.A. As co-creators of The Episodes Project, Peter and Tom have designed a three-component continuum of behavioral health solutions. The movie, Episodes (written and cast) is a full-feature film that follows a 15-year-old girl, Allie. The neighborhood, city, town or village with frontline responders will receive training and coaching on enhancing intervention, rapid evaluation, and appropriate referral skills. This would include EMTs, law enforcement, campus security, teachers, caregivers, religious leaders, urgent/primary/ER providers, and family. This component is Spotlight on the Community and it uses "interactive theater" as a training tool. The third component, "the EPISODES" is copyright protected and trademark registered. This component keeps the messaging on behavioral health going - long before and after "Mental Health Awareness Month" every May. It consists of 50 shows (Copyright Protected) that could run for five years with 10 episodes/season. The Episodes Project is ready! Additional funding is currently being secured. Spotlight on the Community will launch first.

Behavioral health in America is badly broken at a time when our country is facing sudden and massive layoffs, fear is rampant, mass shootings continue, lying is accepted, kids live with a "fear of impending danger" due to school drills, mass shootings, human trafficking, cyber-assaults, opioids, fentanyl, teen suicide, despair, and...depression is still the number one reason employees call in sick. How many mass shooters have failed behavioral health intervention?
