Always honored to be on any panel with these amazing leaders HEROES really from across the state. Yesterday we were able to talk to Princeton University students about the importance of reimagining public safety. At this crucial moment in our history, it's time to reimagine public safety by investing in community-based public safety, mental health, and resources. We need a paradigm shift that prioritizes prevention, intervention, and support over punitive measures. By redirecting funding towards community programs and services, we can address the root causes of crime and promote the wellbeing of all members of society. Let's work together to build safer, healthier communities for everyone. #trentonantiviolencecoalition #patersonhealingcollective #reimaginingjustice #scholaractivist #communityfirst #MentalHealthMatters #InvestInPeople 🌟

https://lnkd.in/guqEXxe4 Eventually I am going to get through this 80 page strategic plan from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). There is good stuff in here and their five priority areas are well oriented with what we need to focus on in behavioral health. -Preventing Substance Use and Overdose -Enhancing Access to Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Services -Promoting Resilience and Emotional Health for Children, Youth and Families -Integrating Behavioral and Physical Health Care -Strengthening the Behavioral Health Workforce The good news here is that Community Mental Health Centers in Kansas are working on initiatives in across these five areas as well -ping me for details or you can wait until I write about it down the road. Plus, these priorities all tie into the ongoing transition towards becoming Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics..not just for Kansas, but nationwide. What you'll notice is that none of these priorities can be solved for in a vacuum. They all take work and partnerships.

📣 Our 2023 Report to the Community is now live, and it shows how far we’ve come in our mission to improve health care access and outcomes. Over the past year, we’ve been hard at work tackling some of the biggest challenges we face – like reducing health disparities, promoting early life health, and addressing behavioral health issues. Mental health and substance use disorders impact many individuals and families, often compounded by stigma and barriers to accessing care. That’s why we’re dedicated to breaking down these barriers through our integrated care models, community outreach, and strong partnerships with behavioral health providers. Inside the report, you’ll find stories of how we’ve invested in our community including programs to boost children’s social and emotional well-being and our response to extreme weather events that impact us all. We hope you take a moment to explore our achievements and ongoing efforts to support and uplift our community. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gcsVqTR5
