    I know someone who works in emergency services who said that people in those professions are actually afraid of seeking any type of mental health support because if their employers were to find out, they could be put on administrative duties, unpaid leave, or outright fired for being mentally unfit. The problem is systemic.

      That’s why it has to be required for everyone - if everyone gets therapy, then the ones who actually need it can’t be singled out.
