Everybody exists right in their universe, and that universe is sort of like these Russian dolls that are nested inside of each other.
What happens when a visionary clinical psychologist dedicates two decades to reshaping mental health services? In this episode of BrainStorm, Sony Perlman chats with Dr. Isaac Schechter, the Chief Clinical Officer of Achieve Behavioral Health, about his groundbreaking work in the field. Dr. Schechter isn't just a clinical psychologist; he's a trailblazer who has expanded and popularized behavioral health services within the Orthodox Jewish community, both locally and nationally. Dr.
Schechter's journey from concept to an acclaimed Behavioral Health system is nothing short of inspiring. He discusses the unique challenges faced by the Orthodox Jewish community regarding mental health and the innovative approaches he has implemented to address these issues. From training and supervising hundreds of psychologists and social workers to becoming a sought-after international lecturer, Dr. Schechter's impact is profound. One intriguing idea Dr. Schechter shares is that everyone exists in their own universe, much like Russian nesting dolls.
This metaphor underscores the importance of leveraging community support and resources to provide effective care. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the role of supervision and using data to measure progress, offering valuable insights for anyone interested in behavioral health care. Sony and Dr. Schechter's discussion is not only informative but also deeply engaging, making it a must-listen for those passionate about mental health and community support.
