Vermont is on the cusp of a promising shift in mental health care, initiated by a 6–0 vote from the Senate Appropriations Committee to explore the potential of psychedelic-assisted therapy. ✨🍄🔍 This endorsement paved the way for the Bill’s passage in the Senate, signaling a strong legislative interest in advancing psychedelic therapy. 🍄 The bill aims to establish a Psychedelic Therapy Advisory Working Group, which will be responsible for evaluating the potential for regulated access to psychedelics in a therapeutic setting. 🏛️ This group will focus on developing recommendations for how healthcare providers can legally administer psychedelics safely while evaluating the overall impact on public health. Collaborating with leading institutions like The Johns Hopkins University, the Vermont Psychological Association, and the Vermont Psychiatric Association, they aim to construct a science-driven model for therapeutic use. 🤝🎓 This group is set to deliver a comprehensive report offering recommendations on regulating these transformative treatments in November. 📅 We commend Vermont's legislators for forming a robust coalition championing scientific and expert-led policy, marking a critical step in national psychedelic policy reform. 👏 #vermont #mentalhealthreform #vermontlegislation #psychedelicscience #psychedelicprogress #psychedelictherapy

During 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, it’s important to recognize the critical shortage of qualified psychiatrists and the urgent need for mental and behavioral health resources. My legislation, 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝟮𝟱, would expand access to both health and mental health care by granting full practice authority to qualified Advanced Practice Registered Nurses-Certified Nurse Practitioners (APRN-CNPs). Today I joined psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners to spotlight not only the critical work they are doing in the field of mental health – but the challenges and roadblocks they are facing to help those that are struggling. SB25 can change this! WATCH all of today's remarks: tinyurl.com/3duzux7n

Yesterday, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy released a new advisory on mental health for parents and caregivers. The report highlights a significant finding: 48% of parents say that most days their stress is completely overwhelming, compared to 26% among other adults. As a pediatric PA in outpatient care, I see the impact of this stress daily. Offering reassurance and grace to parents and caregivers is essential. We must equip them with educational tools and resources because a child cannot thrive if their caregiver or parent isn’t. The role parents play in their children’s lives cannot be overstated. Research shows that children’s mental, emotional, and physical health is closely tied to the well-being of their parents. Stress and mental health challenges in parents can directly influence a child’s development and overall well-being. As healthcare providers, we play a crucial role in supporting parents so that they can, in turn, support their children. The Surgeon General's Advisory offers actionable recommendations on how to support parents and caregivers through policy changes, community programs, and individual actions.

Yesterday, the U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy released a new advisory on mental health for parents and caregivers. The report states that 48% of parents say that most days their stress is completely overwhelming, compared to 26% among other adults. We know that parents/caregivers of children with medical complexities face uniquely stressful circumstances. That's why children’s hospitals and health systems provide resources and connections between families facing similar medical challenges, so they don’t feel so alone. The Surgeon General's Advisory offers actionable recommendations on how to support parents and caregivers through policy changes, community programs, and individual actions.

This is such a brilliant work Leanne W. summing up the 12 core culture of care standards with a fitting illustration. It goes beyond just an illustration but a powerful sum up of every bits that needs to come together. The mental health inpatient setting itself stands out as the beautiful house that turns into a home purely as a result of great practises that sits in it, lived experience is the voice gatekeeping and ushering in the much needed SAFETY Into this home - with safety enabling the so much needed space to grow trusting RELATIONSHIPS and yes relationships are one of the most singular essential blocks for recovery while STAFF SUPPORT cements it, wedging every relationship blocks together on all sides, respecting differences and at the same time acknowledging uniqueness (EQUALITY). I could keep going, it’s well fused together in my head and inter - connected. I could say it tells a story and charts the path that leads to where we need to be - this is where we are strong with promises of hope for many even if it feels like they had once lost it. Culture of Care programme seeks to bring this to life.
Earlier this year, I worked with NHS England to draw an illustration which summarised the new NHS Culture of Care Standards for mental health inpatient services. Here is the final piece 😃. It evolved as we worked together and aims to be one way of sharing about this important work. Having read the standards inside out, it feels such a powerful piece of truly co-produced work. There's 12 core standards which include valuing lived experience at all levels of the organisation 💪. Being in a NHS lived experience role myself I'm happy about this and look forward to seeing the impact unfold.
