The discussion and next steps on the ballot are critical to mental healthcare in California. #behavioralhealth #behavioralhealthcare #mentalhealth #policychange

Proactive recognition and treatment of tardive dyskinesia (TD) can make a positive impact in the lives of many people managing their mental illness with antipsychotic medications. That’s why we are committed to working with all segments of the healthcare system – patients, care partners, advocacy organizations, healthcare providers, government and public health officials – to advocate for routine screenings for TD as the standard of care for at-risk patients.

A new demonstration model from the United States Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is hoping to improve mental health for adults who deal with substance abuse disorders, accomplished by growing behavioral health provider capacity, one that mixes in physical health care within their practice and their services. Integrating a “no wrong door” approach means it doesn’t matter how patients enter the system, they have access to all health programs. This model will allow CMS to support behavioral health practices integrating care that will help meet physical and behavioral health and assist with health-related social needs. The CMS model is a lot like the mission of TPN Health - Improving patient outcomes and based on the principles of trust and integrity.

#CCBHCs are essential because they provide comprehensive, 24/7 care for #mentalhealth and substance use disorders, regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. They ensure that people get timely access to critical services, including crisis intervention, primary care, and support for veterans and underserved populations. By addressing both mental and physical health needs, CCBHCs help create healthier communities and reduce the overall burden on emergency services and hospitals. #MentalHealthMatters #CommunityCare Mercer US Government’s David McMahon, CPA, partnered on an #HSFO Conference presentation to discuss state responsibilities for setting up #CCBHC programs under the federal demonstration as well as best practices for CCBHCs under state plans.

My perspective, these young people (k-12) can benefit immensely from taking daily class about how to deal with emotions, how to talk to each other, how to treat each other preferably starting in preschool. To avoid suicide among this age. The education system is fails to teach children about the most important things “themselves, “their emotions” how to treat each other, how to talk to each other, and how to care for their immediate environment. And as for health care for these children whom we are taking the responsibility to train so they can live in a conscious civilized world, their health should not be dependent on an institution, instead, they should have a daily class about the natural food their bodies needs, how to prepare it and preserve it. Moreover, their health should not depend on artificial medicine, rather they should be learning how to prepare natural medicine. I think it is time to start teaching real knowledge. The rest it’s pretty much unnecessary. They need to learn about themselves first, before learning about anything else, after all, am sure we all agree that we want a generation of healthy kids that can take care of themselves, and can communicate with empathy, and understand their emotions before training them for industrial labor? I think we need to start thinking outside the box.

The headline alone ignites a fire in me. Monumental shifts like this are 100% necessary in the healthcare landscape, and the potential permanence of CCBHCs within Medicaid holds the promise of better access to crucial mental health services for millions. At Mend, we've always championed innovation and accessibility in mental healthcare. This development aligns perfectly with our aim to make access to mental and behavioral healthcare accessible for all. It's not just about treating symptoms; it's about fostering holistic wellness and empowering individuals to lead fulfilling lives. But let's not just celebrate this as another potential bureaucratic win. Let's recognize it as a testament to the tireless advocacy of mental health professionals, organizations, and advocates who have tirelessly fought for equitable access to quality care. Yet, as we revel in this progress, we have to remain vigilant. Permanence doesn't equate to perfection. We must continue pushing boundaries, challenging norms, and advocating for policies that prioritize mental health as a fundamental aspect of overall well-being. Together, let's pave the way towards a brighter, more inclusive future for mental health care. #MentalHealthMatters #Innovation #HealthcareRevolution #CCBHCs #Medicaid #HealthcarePolicy #MentalWellness #AccessToCare #Advocacy #CommunityHealth #EquityInHealthcare #PolicyChange #HealthcareLeadership Read the full article here: https://hubs.ly/Q02pbQx10
