In this episode, I\u2019m talking about the very real challenges therapists face when life disrupts their ability to work. Private practice can offer freedom and flexibility, but it can also leave clinicians vulnerable when illness, grief, natural disasters, burnout, or unexpected emergencies come up. We\u2019ll look at why therapists need a safety net, how financial stress impacts clinicians, and what it means to prepare your practice for the unexpected. From emergency grants and burnout prevention to referral networks and professional wills, this conversation is a reminder that therapists are human too. Jeanine Rousso, co-founder of Therapist Resource Network, joins me to share how her nonprofit is supporting mental health clinicians through emergency financial assistance, advocacy, and resources for long-term sustainability.

As the need for mental health treatment increased among clients, so did the need for the clinicians themselves to be cared for.  Unfortunately, the broken mental health system does not often afford therapists the space and financial stability to receive much-deserved care in their times of need. Jeanine founded TRN as a way to support therapists in new ways.  Website Instagram LinkedIn ","author_name":"The Practice of Therapy Podcast with Gordon Brewer","author_url":"https:\/\/practiceoftherapy.com","html":"
