America is facing a mental health crisis—but funding and systems haven’t kept pace. Leaders from Centerstone, the nation’s largest nonprofit community behavioral health organization, join Worth Media to discuss the scale of the challenge: 250,000 patients served annually, care in nine states, military family services in all 50 states, and a growing workforce shortage projected to worsen through 2032.
