Unionized public mental health clinicians have increasingly engaged in labor organizing to improve their demanding labor conditions and to stem the tide of ongoing public mental health workforce shortages.

Sociodemographic characteristics of youth in a trauma focused‐cognitive behavioral therapy effectiveness trial in the city of Philadelphia
While randomized controlled trials of trauma‐focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF‐CBT) have demonstrated efficacy for youth with posttraumatic stress disorder, TF‐CBT effectiveness trials typically show attenuated outcomes.
