Connections team members were fortunate to attend the NAMI Eastside Gala on World Mental Health Day. This event was vital in supporting the community and shining a light on NAMI Eastside's essential work in providing free mental health education, advocacy, and support to individuals and families. The evening was filled with warmth, connection, and joy, perfectly capturing this year’s theme: Healing Through Connection. We heard impactful discussions on youth mental health, the effects of social media, and the importance of connection from inspiring speakers, including mental health champions, elected officials, and experts. They addressed critical mental health challenges and shared valuable solutions. It was a fantastic opportunity to engage, learn, and grow together as a community, and we felt honored to be part of such a meaningful event!

After a mental health crisis is averted, effective discharge planning is vital for ongoing support and stabilization. Lower acuity crisis programs provide a supportive, home-like environment, bridging the gap to community-based services and reducing inpatient admissions. Urgent care clinics enhance this continuum with same-day access to essential services, acting as the front door to mental health care. By investing in a continuum of crisis programs and strong discharge planning, we can ensure the right level of care at the right time for sustained recovery.
