PUEBLO â May is Mental Health Awareness month, and after one of the most strenuous years in history, the need for therapists is much higher than in the past.
âHistorically, I think weâve been turning away like 60 or 70 people a week for therapy, just because we didnât have enough therapists, and this year weâve turned away about 150 a week, said Regan Young, the CEO of A New Leaf Therapy in Pueblo.
