Now, more than ever, fans are getting their information from artists and entertainment. They trust the artists they love, and they’re turning to TV shows and pop culture to guide their views about the world and each other. Licensed therapist and YouTube video creator Kati Morton and executive producer Gloria Kellett (Netlix’s One Day at a Time) discuss how creators & entertainers can use their platform to make a positive impact on how we talk about mental health in our communities.
Kati Morton is a YouTube content creator, with a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and is a licensed marriage and family therapist. In addition, she is a certified dialectical and behavior therapist and grief counselor. Kati is well known for her YouTube channel which now has over 690 thousand subscribers with over 49 million views. Kati released her first book, Are u ok?: A Guide to Caring for Your Mental Health in December 2018.
Over the past seven years, Kati has leveraged social media to share mental health information worldwide through video. Her specialties include working with individuals experiencing eating disorders and self-harming behaviors, although she addresses all things related to mental health. Kati’s passion is to increase awareness about mental health. Her online community has expanded to all major internet platforms, allowing her to answer mental health questions from her followers around the world. She hopes by doing this, the global community can push for better services worldwide and remove the stigma associated with getting help.
