Televised Network Specializing in Mental Health Issues Debuts on Zeam Platform
Mental Health Television Network Launches on Hyperlocal Streaming Service Zeam
The Mental Health Television Network (MHTN) has made its debut on the hyperlocal streaming service Zeam, marking a significant step towards addressing the mental health needs of a large portion of the U.S. population. According to a December 2023 analysis by the Bureau of Health Workforce, 169 million Americans live in areas with a shortage of mental health professionals.
Founded earlier this year by Troy McGuire, Kieran Clarke, and Dr. Daniel Bober, MHTN is the first-ever 24/7 streaming brand dedicated exclusively to mental health news, education, and resources. Dr. Bober, who previously 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, is among the network's key figures.
MHTN offers original programming, insightful resources, and a nurturing community on its platform. The network aims to connect effectively with local communities to inspire real change, as stated by MHTN CEO Kieran Clarke.
Zeam, with its partnerships with local broadcasters and content creators, understands hyperlocal better than anyone else. With over 300 local stations and partnerships with top local broadcast groups like Gray Media, CBS News & Stations, News Press & Gazette, and Morgan Murphy Media, MHTN's launch on Zeam allows it to reach a wider national audience and connect with underserved communities.
Zeam viewers can now stream MHTN's content at launch. Future plans for MHTN on Zeam include tailoring content to specific local channels and creating synergies with local broadcast partners and mental health-focused organizations.
MHTN presents a compassionate and stigma-free platform for mental health discussions, bringing together people seeking mental health information, local mental health practitioners, and organizations within communities. The network's availability in over 60 countries underscores its commitment to global mental health awareness.
The collaboration between MHTN and Zeam promises to yield new and exciting ways to address mental health issues on a local and national scale. As the need for accessible mental health resources continues to grow, the launch of MHTN on Zeam is a promising development in the field.
