This collection of interviews was developed by the Great Lakes MHTTC Nodes—our valued partner organizations operating throughout HHS Region 5 (IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, WI)—to highlight effective recruitment and retention practices for mental health professionals. This project was also undertaken to commemorate the extensive work each organization has done to support the behavioral health workforces within their state over the past six years and inspire future generations of mental health professionals. The Great Lakes MHTTC extends our deepest thanks to the Nodes for their partnership, expertise, and dedication to the wellbeing of their communities and our region as a whole. We are so grateful you’ve shared in our goals and our commitment to helping those in need.   You can access the videos on the Great Lakes MHTTC series landing page or the series playlist on the Great Lakes Current YouTube channel.

It's important that disordered eating is identified and treated in the early stages, otherwise, it can progress into an eating disorder if left unaddressed.
