New data on the availability of providers that specialize in mental health have been added to the reporting platform. Mental health providers include licensed clinical social workers and other credentialed professionals specializing in psychiatry, psychology, counseling, or child, adolescent, or adult mental health. Reporting elements include the total number and rate of providers in the reporting area, as well as a list of individual providers and their contact information.
