Summarized CommentsAdd Comment
  • Equity of access to counseling/psychotherapy is a big gap now and has been for 15yrs at least.
  • I rated actionability lower due to the fact there is not enough money to meet these needs.
  • This would be very relevant if it were limited to evidenced-based approaches such as CBT.
