Psychotherapy Association Fears Reduced Access to Services

The Latvian Psychotherapy Association (LPB), which represents professionals in the field, has expressed concern about a possible reduction in the availability of psychotherapy in the country. Board chair Egita Pļaviņa said this in an interview with the news portal Jauns.lv.
Why it matters
Psychotherapy is one of the ways people receive mental health care. If access to the service shrinks, it could affect anyone who needs such help.
What is known
The portal's headline refers to possible radical reforms and a potential upheaval in the sector. The available excerpt of the article does not specify which changes are being considered, who is pushing them, or when they might take effect. No figures or documents are cited.
It is clear, however, that the association's leadership considers the situation serious enough to raise it publicly in the media. The association's more detailed arguments and proposals are available in the full interview on Jauns.lv.
