Jason Staats: Red Flags, Modern Stigmas, and the Mental Health Conversation

In this week’s Thought Snob Podcast, Paula sits down with Jason Staats, CEO of SUN Behavioral Kentucky, for a powerful conversation about the shifting landscape of mental health awareness and care. After the interview, Paula said, "Jason made me rethink some things. Parents should never assume their children are just on their phones. We need to know how to spot silent mental health struggles." 

Jason shares how the stigma around mental health has changed throughout the years—and why we must stay vigilant to avoid becoming desensitized to the struggles others may silently face. From his work as a licensed counselor to leading a team of over 300 professionals across Kentucky, Jason offers a unique lens on how compassionate, patient-centered care changes lives.
