At its core, hope is the belief that our future can be better than our past and that we play a role in making it so. It differs from optimism, which is about expecting good things, not participating in their construction. Hope is about how we plan and act to achieve. As a future facing, goal-oriented model, hope allows us to feel empowered and competent in our ability to walk forward and thrive. https://lnkd.in/eBeHVGrS

Many solutions were offered and the panelists rose to my urgent call to action at the conclusion to this 3 day summit. Measuring the impact of Whole Person Care can be approached by tracking improvements in patient outcomes, satisfaction, and engagement, but also jail and repeat hospitalizations for complete data collection.

Communication, collaboration, customized software tools for patients with internists around their appointments, and using outside-the-box thinking like the Stepped Care Solutions approach and AI innovations were among the Future of Mental Healthcare Summit top highlights. #futureofmentalhealth #mentalhealth #FoMH2024 https://lnkd.in/eVSe6pJv
