A shortage of mental health professionals in south-central Indiana, coupled with a growing number of people seeking mental health services, is putting a strain on Bloomington’s population of psychiatrists, psychologists, nurse practitioners, counselors, therapists and social workers.
“The number of mental health providers we have in Bloomington is being overtaxed,” said Scott Branam, executive director of behavioral health at IU Health Bloomington. “Based on the latest estimate that 150 more psychiatrists are needed in Indiana to meet the state’s needs, the shortage will continue. We will be seeing more nurse practitioners and physician assistants with prescribing privileges to help fill in that gap.”
