Diamond Grove Center’s Post

May may be ending, but let's keep the conversation going. Mental health awareness isn't limited to a single month—it's a year-round journey of support, understanding, and compassion. Arise is a patient-focused, physician-directed therapy center, with locations across North Mississippi. Our team provides comprehensive medication and therapy services to address mental health needs for an array of patients. We offer appointments with our psychiatrist, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, and therapists, who can treat the full spectrum of behavioral health disorders in person or via telehealth. Arise eliminates the typical waits or frustrations with appointment times while maintaining Physician-direction of all therapy services. Gone are the days of therapy at one location and medication management at another. Comprehensive care is what we do. Let's break the stigma! #theraphyyoudeserve #EndTheStigma #MentalHealthMatters"

Our board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners provide personalized #mentalhealth care for children, teens, and adults. Our providers meet with you for an initial evaluation to collect information on your current and past mental health concerns, as well as other health conditions, life stressors, and factors that may influence how you are feeling in order to develop their diagnostic assessment. Once a diagnosis is made, our providers work with you to formulate which treatment options are right for you. These treatment options may include non medication approaches. If your provider determines that a prescription medication is necessary to treat your mental health condition, she can prescribe and manage that medication, working in concert with other members of your health care team, such as your therapist, primary care provider, or family members if you provide written consent. You will meet with your medication management provider regularly in order to discuss how the medications are working, how to manage any side effects you may encounter, and how to discontinue the medication when it is no longer needed.

I’m angry. I recently learned about 28 children in a local hospital emergency department—each in urgent need of psychiatric care—and the hospital only had 14 beds available. So what did this look like? Fourteen children were in the hallway, waiting. Some for hours, others for days and at least one child that should have been held on a mandatory 72hr hold for self-injurious behavior and suicidal ideation was discharged home. This isn’t just a story about a single hospital; it’s a disturbing reflection of a system that’s failing our kids and its not okay. How is it that in 2024, we still haven’t created adequate mental health resources for children? Families are being stretched to their limits, waiting for weeks or even months for help, while their children’s needs only intensify. This system is broken, and the impact on our children is heartbreaking. As a parent and professional, I’m outraged. But more than that, I’m driven. Through my work at Resilient Parent Consulting, I’m helping families take back some control, offering mental health support to parents of children with medical diagnoses. You shouldn’t have to wait for the system to catch up. Let’s demand better. And in the meantime, I’m here to help. #FixTheSystem #MentalHealthCrisis #OurKidsDeserveMore #ParentSupport #ResilientParenting

America’s Mental Health Is Worsening. Special Urgent-Care Clinics Step In. Mental-health urgent-care sites are proliferating across the U.S. to treat the spiraling numbers of children and adults who need mental-health care and ease a shortage of therapists that has caused many people to wait months for appointments or go to the nearest emergency room to find help. The sites are starting to change the face of mental-health treatment, offering a much-needed alternative to emergency departments—long the first point of contact for people in mental-health straits—that have become strained by an increase in visits during the pandemic. More than 20 mental-health urgent-care centers have opened in the past year alone from Colorado to Virginia. A letter published in the journal Psychiatric Services in 2021 identified 77 of the clinics across the U.S.

To adequately provide efficient and effective services stakeholders need to understand the current system of care and housing options for SUD and Mental Health facilities. The explainer shows the full continuum of treatment beds and housing settings in California for both mental health and substance use disorder, and the following for each level of care: - A high-level description of support provided - Examples of beds and facilities - New and proposed funding sources

Viewpoint discusses the need for formal training in suicide prevention for frontline emergency clinicians and staff, including standardized screening practices, assessment and targeted interventions, and increased connection to outpatient mental health services after discharge from the emergency department. https://ja.ma/3SmGCP6

Is there a right to direct one’s own care? How can Psychiatric Advance Directives help individuals to maintain autonomy while in a mental health crisis? I’m proud to speak on this important topic at the 2024 Sozosei Foundation’s Summit to Decriminalize Mental Illness. Our panel will discuss psychiatric advance directives as a legally enforceable advance care planning option, considerations for practitioners in creating and honoring psychiatric advance directives, and potential strategies for making psychiatric advance directives more commonplace, especially within our healthcare safety net. #2024SozoseiSummit #SozoseiFdn #mentalillnessisnotacrime

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.
