This past week in Boston at Psych Congress, we heard from Rakesh Jain, MD, MPH who shared innovative insights on the role of exercise and dance in enhancing mental health, an inspiring reminder of the multifaceted approaches we can take in care. We invite you to watch the video of Marvell Adams Jr.'s closing remarks at Psych Congress, where he highlights our commitment to supporting the millions of family caregivers who selflessly dedicate their time to caring for their loved ones. These individuals play a crucial role in managing medications, coordinating care, and providing emotional support, which all contribute to better health outcomes. As we celebrate National Family Caregivers Month this November, we express our gratitude to HMP Global and Psych Congress for their dedication to caregivers. Thank you to all clinicians for championing caregiving. Together, we can advocate for those who dedicate their lives to caring for others. 💙 #NationalCaregiversMonth #CaregiverSupport #HealthcareAdvocacy #PsychCongress #ICare

The financial burden of LTC affects not only the generation needing care now but also future generations. To cover high out-of-pocket costs, it's often necessary to use retirement savings, liquidating assets, or relying on family members for support.

We were honored to stand alongside Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) as proud supporters of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) at this morning’s Out of the Darkness Community Walk during the Psych Congress in Boston. This powerful event brought the Psych Congress community together to walk in solidarity, raise awareness, and break the stigma around mental health. Special thanks to Nichole Goble from Caregiver Action Network who joined on this meaningful journey and showed her unconditional support! This event reflects our ongoing commitment to mental health awareness and to providing spaces where everyone feels seen and supported. While the walk has concluded, you can still support AFSP’s vital work by visiting https://lnkd.in/e-Pu8f-f. Together, let’s continue making strides toward a brighter, healthier future. ✨ #MentalHealthMatters #OutOfTheDarkness #PsychCongress #BMS
