I think the first and foremost advice, I would say, is: get an attorney... But what I've managed to do actually, you know, in an odd way, and I, you know, bless all the people who have suffered and died, but in an odd way, covid was kind of a business greatness for me, in the sense that I was able to get out of it.
Ever wondered what it takes to transition from working in the prison system to running a private practice? Dr. Lina Haji has done just that. In this episode, hosts Mike Carroll and Jess Gaddes chat with Dr. Haji about her remarkable career shift. She started out providing psychological forensic assessments in American prisons, a job fraught with challenges and systemic flaws.
Driven by a passion for accurate diagnosis and treatment, she opened Rise Psychological Services in Miami during the middle of 2020. Dr. Haji’s story is not just about professional growth; it’s a deep dive into the complexities of mental health within the criminal justice system. She discusses how misdiagnoses can derail lives and emphasizes the importance of getting it right.
The conversation also touches on the benefits of telehealth, which has become a crucial tool for mental health services, especially during the pandemic. Listeners will find this episode particularly engaging if they or someone they know has faced incarceration or has been a patient in a psychiatric ward. Dr. Haji shares eye-opening insights into the flaws in both American and Australian systems, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in mental health and criminal justice reform.
But it’s not all about the problems; Dr. Haji also offers hope and solutions. She talks about the role of spirituality in recovery and how community support can make a significant difference. Whether you’re struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable perspectives on treatment options and the impact of government funding on mental health services. Join Mike, Jess, and Dr.
Lina Haji as they explore these critical issues, offering both professional expertise and personal stories that bring the subject to life.
