Suffering from mental health problems and addictions is widespread in the U.S. and the Catskill region. In recognition of the impact of mental health problems on local communities, Delaware County (NY) has a Mental Health Department and Clinic that provides important services to individuals and families in the county. Doug Ellston is a licensed social worker and the Director of Community Service for Delaware County, which primarily oversees Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services through the State Offices of Mental Health and Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services in the county. Prior to his appointment as Director, he was a clinician for about 24 years working primarily with children and families. HealthCetera host Diana Mason talked with Mr. Ellston about mental health issues and services in the region and his vision on promoting mental health. This interview first aired on May 1, 2024, on HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX Radio.
