The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) has prepared these reports to Congress to provide an
overview of the facts and issues affecting the substance abuse and
mental health workforce in America. SAMHSA's reports cover the
behavioural health workforce in its entirety because many data
sources and programs report by profession or discipline rather than
population served (eg: social workers, psychologists, and
counsellors), whether providing prevention services or treatment
and whether serving persons with substance use disorders, mental
health conditions, or both. Data specific to the substance use
disorder treatment workforce will be provided wherever available.
This book also includes demographic data as well as a discussion of
key issues and challenges such as staff turnover, ageing of the
workforce, inadequate compensation, worker shortages, licensing and
credentialing issues, and recruitment, and retention and
distribution of the workforce. The misunderstandings and often
inaccurate perceptions of society about mental illness and
addiction as these relate to workforce challenges are also
discussed.
