Mental healthcare is complicated, we make it simple for employers & their team | Manager, Partnership Development @ Tava Health
compassion fatigue: indifference to charitable appeals on behalf of those who are suffering, experienced as a result of the frequency or number of such appeals Or simply described as: the negative cost of caring Unsurprisingly, it was first identified and coined in the healthcare space. Nurses, psychologists, caregivers, therapists, saw that their gifts of empathy & compassion, could also cause stress and/or them to turn off their own emotions. While it is most common for those who work in industries like healthcare and nonprofits where you may be exposed to people who are suffering, it could extend beyond the professional sphere. Those who are caretakers to family members– or simply those who are exposed to others’ trauma often– can also experience compassion fatigue. The good news is that it is natural, treatable, and preventable. Talking to a therapist is always a great place to start. If you’re looking for easily accessible therapists (think 3 clicks and you’re scheduled for tomorrow) as an individual or as an employer for your employees, send me a DM and I'll get you connected. In the meantime, I’ll share a few strategies from one of our therapists below 👇

To fully address health, medicine needs to integrate social connection into standard care. Luckily, Children's Healing Center provides the social connection piece of the PUZZLE. Kids and families navigating a medical diagnosis must isolate from the outside world in an effort to protect their child from harmful pathogens - leading to social isolation and loneliness, which can have adverse health impacts. Children's Healing Center fills the gap in healthcare and provides opportunities to promote social connection. #GoodCleanFun #SocialConnection #NonProfit #OurWhyWednesday

Movember is coming to a close - but we are committed to supporting men’s health issues, from prostate and testicular cancer to mental health awareness, all year long. 👦👨👴 We had some employees participate in raising awareness this month, growing out their moustaches and actively working to raise funds. And that’s not all. We are currently in the process of launching a new initiative - a regular conversation series on the topic of men’s health. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks and months. Did you participate in Movember this year? #Ciphr #Movember #MensHealthAwareness

Over the next few weeks, we’ll highlight some impactful ways Rapid Response Care has made a difference for individuals in crisis. Imagine Rapid Response as mental health's equivalent to 911—an immediate and responsive solution available day or night, working collaboratively with law enforcement and paramedics when urgent assistance is needed. First, let’s meet *Xavier: One afternoon in 2023, Xavier was behaving erratically and unable to communicate from a reality base. The Police Department, Fire Department, and Xavier's family were on scene. The Chief of Police called our Rapid Response Director to help. Our team quickly assessed the situation and decided to “divide and conquer.” One Radiant Health Expert connected with Xavier and helped him de-escalate. At the same time, another Radiant Health Expert gathered information from family members. This allowed first responders to leave the scene and get back to their duties. Xavier decided to leave the scene peacefully with our team members. They decided not to receive care that day, but our team diligently followed up over the next few days. Xavier is receiving ongoing care at Radiant Health. *name has been changed to protect the identity of the client. This story is just one example of our No Wrong Door philosophy, where you can access the care you need anytime, anywhere, at any of our locations. This week, we’ve launched our Year End Fundraising Campaign. We would be honored to have you donate, share with your network, and witness firsthand the positive changes your support helps bring about. Give here: https://ow.ly/P0gm50QhBnw #brighterkindofbetter #radianthealth #opendoors #sparkchange

However, it’s an important day to recognise all those experiencing different kinds of smell and taste dysfunction, whatever the cause. We are collaborating with our charity partner Fifth Sense to raise awareness and offer support to those affected by #smell and taste disorders.

Hello The Crawley support group is on Wednesday 8th November 2023. ⏰ 11am-1pm 📍 The Longley Room, The Orchard, 1-2 Gleneagles Court, Brighton Road, Crawley, RH10 6AD As with each of our groups, the meeting is user-led, so we’ll be guided by your needs and interests. There will be lots of opportunities to meet and socialise, as well as to learn from other people living with brain injury and to share advice. You’re probably aware by now that we have a monthly nominated theme. November’s theme is stress and how to manage it. Stress can have bad connotations, which isn’t always fair and true as it can help people cope with difficult situations and be a great motivator. It’s not an everyday example, but a good dose of stress can be useful when you’re trying to run away from a lion (good luck!). This article outlines some of these elements: Good Stress: When Stress Can Help (and When It Can Hurt) (verywellmind.com) However, stress can also be a difficult thing to manage after a brain injury due to the issues many of us have with memory, fatigue and problem-solving. This is particularly an issue at the moment when people are struggling with bills and everyday health. Headway UK have put together some top tips on this, which you can find here: https://lnkd.in/gvwZgzs The NHS’s Every Mind Matters also have a useful link in this subject, should you wish to know more: https://lnkd.in/dth6NCz The group is a safe space, and we will make sure it is respectful and confidential and ask that you help maintain these principles. If you can afford to donate to us, any free cash you have on the night is most welcome. Or you can do it here: · our JustGiving page; https://lnkd.in/e_n6AFhg or · donate straight into our account: Headway Sussex, sort code 40-28-15, account number 11314815, HSBC Lewes. Thanks
