Levels of care and ensuring that consumers have the appropriate support for their mental health challenges are detrimental to the prognosis as well as to the overall well-being of the family and the consumer. Too often consumers are subject to the bureaucracy of the system and programs that act in a "one size fits all" manner which does not consider the individual needs and level of support needed for each consumer. To ensure that consumers can recover, it is important to provide support services such as case management, medication management services, routine medical evaluations, and therapeutic services based on the client's level of need.

Meet Jann Sienicki, Clinical Nurse Leader in the Provincial Adult Tertiary Specialized Eating Disorders Treatment Inpatient Program. With an impressive 31 years of dedication to PHC, Jann finds joy in supporting clients to discover their agency and empower themselves. The 4NW team is not just skilled but also compassionate, making it an excellent group to work with. "We're the Provincial experts providing gold star treatment for clients who haven't recovered with community-based/outpatient care. Our programs are evidence-based and recovery-focused." For Jann, the importance of Eating Disorders Programs and support networks lies in raising awareness and challenging societal norms. "Eating disorders are serious, life-threatening illnesses, and our program contributes to clients' recovery. The support of primary care, community mental health, online resources, family, and friends ALL play a valuable role." If you're passionate about raising awareness and providing compassionate care for clients experiencing eating disorders, like Jann, we have roles that will fit you! #PHCStrong #EatingDisordersAwareness #JoinUs #EDAW

The Medicaid and fee-for-service rates provided for services contracted by the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) simply do not reimburse organizations adequately to effectively compete in today’s labor market. An infusion of $60 million for rates and contracts for DMHAS programs supplemented by $5 million for recruitment and retention bonuses and $5 million in incentives for behavioral health organizations to become field placement sites and provide clinical supervision of interns will help stabilize and expand the workforce that is needed. We urge all to use NJAMHAA’s FY2025 campaign brochure, Diverse Faces: All Are Worthy of Full Investment (https://lnkd.in/e8_VpEVK) and accompanying video (https://lnkd.in/eUtqRej6) in our joint advocacy efforts for the FY2025 State and Federal Budgets and legislation.

⌚A great new report highlighting the critical need for systemic reform for those with both mental health & AOD needs, from MHCC & NADA. ⌚ The recommendations are timely:   1) Increase funding for community-managed AOD/MH support services 2) Foster collaboration and co-location models for integrated care 3) Improve service accessibility and adoption of flexible and person-centred approaches 4) Address systemic issues and reduce stigma 5) Promote research and data utilisation of evidence-based treatments 6) Enhance workforce capacity and increase cross-sector training. https://lnkd.in/guGVtgnW https://lnkd.in/g-RPjNt9

I understand the state's concern about individuals and organizations' use of predatory practices and illegal marketing schemes to profit off of those with substance use disorders; however, requiring licensure for peer recovery specialists could unfairly impact communities of color. In New Jersey, drug overdose deaths have declined, but the crisis disproportionately affects communities of color. The spike in overdose rates among communities of color has risen by nearly 30%, according to the National Institute of Health. This is alarming. Recommending a state licensure for peer recovery specialists can limit the number of Black and Brown individuals entering this field. This reform could reduce the availability of coaches who truly understand and empathize with the needs of these communities. This reform could significantly impact the effectiveness of recovery programs and the trust participants have in these services.
