Can Mental health service providers be part of the criminal justice (judicial/legal) system?

Can storytellers be categorized as mental health service providers?

This instalment looks at how we define mental health service providers, and explores the role stories and storytellers play in the mental health space. Join Sitawa as she shares her finding and some funding resources for people who would like to use various forms of storytelling.

The plot twists in this second installment. Instead of sharing her findings from the books mentioned in the first installment, Sitawa introduces two more books. Though the new entries take the series on a different trajectory, they help in showing how, and why, mental health is a dear topic to Sitawa, and why she is researching on additional ways one can be of service in the space.
