In this episode, we talk with Heidi Baskfield, the founder of Speak Our Minds, an organization dedicated to addressing the youth mental health crisis in the United States. Baskfield talks about her journey from political advocacy to health leadership and the committed effort required to transform youth mental health care. Their conversation explores the overwhelming mental health needs of children and the insufficiency of existing resources, which led to the declaration of a state of emergency in Colorado regarding youth mental health. Baskfield outlies four principle aims that Speak Our Minds is focused on: building robust systems of care, bolstering prevention and early intervention, addressing disproportionate impact in communities, and supporting the mental health workforce.
