Center for Community Progress’ Post

During Suicide Prevention Month, let's unite to break the silence and dismantle the stigma surrounding mental health. It's time to create a society, workplaces, and family spaces where seeking help is seen as a strength, not a weakness, and where no one feels isolated in their struggles. By shining a spotlight on these issues, we hope more people will come together to educate themselves and learn about mental health struggles. It's important to be open and non-judgmental and to create a safe space. We all can offer support because sometimes just being there for someone makes a huge difference. Let's all be advocates for change. #SuicidePreventionMonth #BreakTheSilence #EndTheStigma #MentalHealthMatters #YouAreNotAlone #StrengthInSupport

The importance of physical health has been well documented, but youth (and adults) must pay equal attention to their emotional well-being. Depression, suicide, anxiety, and feelings of isolation are rising among young people. Prevention First and the Youth Prevention Resource Center (YPRC) are steadfast in addressing these ever-changing and complex issues. Check out the YPRC's free mental health and wellness resources here: https://buff.ly/3k1Z29D

A truly good life is not about how much we can buy or achieve, but about how we relate to ourselves, our communities, and our environment. By prioritising community, equity, and mental well-being, we can build a healthier, more connected society where people feel supported and valued. Only by addressing the root causes of the mental health crisis can we pave the way for a more meaningful and fulfilling future for all #mentalhealthday

A key step to the success, yay usefulness, of this rule is the level data availability transparency from the 3rd party payors. Nevertheless, it’s an exciting step forward for the Behavioral sector of the US Healthcare System.

With cost of living continuing to rise, affordable health care plans increasingly out of reach, if available at all, individuals and families are facing financial barriers to getting the mental health support they desperately need. At NCC, we believe that mental health care should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background or financial circumstances. That’s why we’re committed to breaking down barriers to care and providing affordable services to those in need using our sliding scale. But we can’t do it alone. Your support makes a world of difference in ensuring that no one has to choose between their mental well-being and their financial stability.

This is incredible news! So many have campaigned for the Mental Health Act (UK) to be reformed - Mind, especially - as it is not fit for purpose (more here on why: https://lnkd.in/eryH4pSt.) Hopefully the reformation will take into account the voices of those with lived experience, to ensure it's suitable and supportive in a way that actually helps formal patients, and gives them more say in their own treatment. #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthact

This is progress. But. I want to see more schools with properly funded, fully functioning SEND units. I want to see comprehensive, accessible programmes that support neurodivergent young people into work. I want to see shorter waiting lists for NHS mental health therapies, rather than money spent on online support to fill the gap while people wait years, not months, for desperately needed therapies. Will this government be able to deliver? #mentalhealth #intowork #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #disabilityawareness #autismawareness #neurodiverse

The administration's final mental health parity regs -- one of the most important developments of the year in the health plans space -- have been issued: https://lnkd.in/eTWEhn5j We'll see if there's also a Loper challenge to these highly detailed rules.
