Television Network Focuses on Mental Health Issues Debuts on Zeam Platform
The Mental Health Television Network (MHTN) has made its debut on the hyperlocal streaming service Zeam, bringing together people seeking mental health information, practitioners, and organizations within local communities. This marks a significant step forward in addressing the mental health professional shortage in many U.S. areas.
Founded by Troy McGuire, Kieran Clarke, and Dr. Daniel Bober earlier this year, MHTN is the first-ever 24/7 streaming brand dedicated exclusively to mental health news, education, and resources. Dr. Bober, who served as a mental health policy fellow in the U.S. Senate from 2007 to 2008 and is currently an Assistant Clinical Professor at Yale Child Study Center, plays a crucial role in shaping the network's content and vision.
MHTN's launch on Zeam allows it to reach a wider national audience and connect with underserved communities through the platform's 300-plus local broadcasters. Zeam, which features streams from over 300 local stations and has partnerships with Gray Media, CBS News & Stations, News Press & Gazette, Morgan Murphy Media, and other top local broadcast groups, understands hyperlocal better than anyone else.
The platform's founders aim to connect effectively with local communities to inspire real change. In a statement, Kieran Clarke, MHTN's CEO, emphasized the network's commitment to collaborating with Zeam in new and exciting ways to achieve this goal. MHTN is looking forward to tailoring content to specific local channels on Zeam and creating synergies between Zeam, its local broadcast partners, MHTN, and mental health-focused organizations within local communities.
MHTN offers original programming, insightful resources, and a nurturing community. The platform positions itself as a compassionate and stigma-free platform for mental health discussions. The network's content, such as the Healthy Minds series, is distributed nationally across the U.S. through platforms like PBS.org, but its launch on Zeam expands its reach and impact.
According to a December 2023 analysis by the Bureau of Health Workforce, 169 million Americans, more than half the U.S. population, live in areas with a shortage of mental health professionals. MHTN's launch on Zeam addresses this critical issue by providing a digital platform for resources and support.
As MHTN continues to grow and evolve, it remains dedicated to its mission of providing accessible, high-quality mental health information to everyone, regardless of their location. The network's launch on Zeam is just the beginning of this exciting journey towards a more open and supportive mental health landscape in the United States.
