Do you know an adolescent seeking behavioral health support? Our Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) may help. A few modules covered in our adolescent programs include: Mindfulness: The quality of awareness we bring to what we are doing and experiencing and being in the here and now. Distress Tolerance: Four groups of crisis survival strategies which include distraction, self‐soothing, improving the moment, and pros and cons. Emotional Regulation: The understanding of how emotions work and the skills needed to manage emotions instead of being managed by them. Interpersonal Relations: The application of the skills learned in the other modules to relationships with loved ones and those around us.

Are you going to the Labor Assistance Professionals (LAP) Conference next week? If so, let's connect! California Prime Recovery Addiction & Mental Health Treatment Center | Orange County, California will be exhibiting (booth # TBA) -- come say hi!

Access to behavorial health services in nursung homes has been generally considered inadequate. At CHE, we recognize that best practices in behavioral health in LTC settings requires a "systems-level" approach. To that end, CHE psychologists, clinical social workers, and other qualified mental health specialists work to support not only the resident, but those invested in the resident's care and quality of life, including staff and family caregivers. By working as an essential and integral part of the interdisciplinary care team, the psychologist supports person-centered, individualized treatment recommendations that help maximize positive outcomes and improve the resident's emotional and physical well-being. #BehavioralHealth #NursingHomes #LTC #MentalHealth #QualityOfLife #InterdisciplinaryCare #PersonCenteredCare #behavioralhealthpartner #behavioralhealthprovider #mentalhealthpartner #PositiveOutcomes #EmotionalWellBeing #che #PhysicalWellBeing #readytotalk #readytolisten

Americans are struggling at home and in the workplace with mental and behavioral health conditions as a national surge in post-COVID demand persists for psychiatric care, substance use disorder treatment, and clinical counseling. A recent research article in the Journal of Preventive Medicine finds that recognizing and addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) that disproportionately affect certain communities is crucial for promoting equity in behavioral health.

Chorus Innovations is proud to share the incredible work of the Psychiatric Advance Directives (PADs) project highlighted in a recent ABC7 article. In partnership with seven California counties, the PADs project is an initiative that empowers individuals to take control of their behavioral health journey through PADs – personalized plans that reflect their specific needs and preferences. A Psychiatric Advance Directive is a valuable tool empowering a person's voice and personal choices. The purpose is to assist in a quick recovery from a crisis situation. However, it benefits overall recovery as well, encouraging listening, being seen as a whole person, supporting self-direction and wellness. With the support of peer specialists, county residents are creating these plans, leveraging Chorus’ digital tools - which help ensure their voices are heard in future behavioral health care decisions. This patient-centered approach is a key step towards more compassionate and effective mental health treatment.

If we are willing to change the paradigm, shifting our focus from treating illness at the individual level to focusing on improving the psychological health of all people in our neighborhoods and communities, we can create a system of interventions across the continuum of the population that is all aimed at everyone’s health no matter where they’re at. In this episode, Dr. Graham Taylor speaks with Arthur C. Evans, Ph.D.. Arthur is a clinical and community psychologist, healthcare innovator, policymaker, and the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President of the American Psychological Association, the leading scientific and professional organization representing psychology in the United States. Before joining APA in March 2017, Arthur spent 12 years as commissioner of Philadelphia's Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disability Services transforming that agency’s approach to serving a wide range of individuals with complex needs. Arthur has received national and international recognition for his work, including being recognized as an “Advocate for Action” by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, receiving the American Medical Association’s top government service award in healthcare, receiving the National Council of Behavioral Health’s Visionary Leadership Award, and more. Together Graham and Arthur discuss fostering equitable health, challenges of our current system of treatment, and strategies to addressing population health. We can look at the world differently. If we can see the value we bring as mental health professionals, and we’re partnering with people to really address the broader mental needs of the community, we can get out of the current system and bring our expertise in fulfilling ways.
