Jo was cited in Newspage News talking about the importance of mental health service regulation. She says "there is a lack of clarity around who is truly qualified to provide mental health care.
Currently, anyone can call themselves a psychotherapist, counsellor or mental health professional without legal consequence, leaving vulnerable people at risk.
Without proper regulation, those seeking help are at risk of significant emotional harm and trauma. Implementing clear standards and regulations for mental health professions like psychotherapy would ensure individuals and businesses have reliable guidelines to make informed decisions.
In cases of malpractice, regulation would also offer a structured path for recourse, protecting the public and raising the standard of care.
As awareness of mental health issues grows, so does the demand for professional solutions in both personal and workplace settings. However, with patients increasingly turning to social media and online platforms for guidance, sophisticated sales tactics often push quick, impulsive purchases."
