SAINT PAUL, Minn. \u2014 Mental health is at the top of many people’s minds after the deadly Annunciation Church shooting in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n
The new Capitol Park Mental Health Hospital in Saint Paul was built to address the shortage of mental health care facilities in Minnesota.<\/p>\n
Health leaders held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday afternoon to officially unveil the new facility.<\/p>\n
The 144-bed hospital is located at 559 N. Capitol Blvd., just a block behind the State Capitol.<\/p>\n
The facility is a joint venture between Fairview Health Services and Acadia Healthcare.<\/p>\n
Hospital administrators say the facility will provide short-term care to adults who are experiencing a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorders, and co-occurring substance use disorders.<\/p>\n
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), an estimated 81,000 new mental health professionals will be needed over the next 10 years.<\/p>\n
The latest statistics from 2024 indicate that the average mental health counselor earns around $59,000 per year, with many professionals holding a master\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n
According to the BLS, the average master\u2019s degree recipient earns nearly twice as much money, with an average annual salary of around $95,000.<\/p>\n
Hospital administrators say Capitol Park Mental Health Hospital will officially open its doors to patients in late September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Capitol Park Mental Health Hospital is a 144-bed facility located at 559 N.
