We'd love to hear your new ideas for the year ahead! #PedsHF #PedsVAD #Collaboration See less

"Reframing the health care system around the experiences, needs, and considerations of children, youth, families, and communities is necessary to achieve excellent and equitable health outcomes. ... The goal of this approach is comprehensive, equitable care that addresses holistic family needs and leverages successful community practices." The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine Report on "Launching Lifelong Health by Improving Healthcare for Children, Youth and Families". nap.nationalacademies.org Clinicians who care for children aged zero to three are in a unique position to support families in forming and maintaining Relational Health. Relational health is defined as the safe, stable and nurturing relationships that protect and nurture a child’s growth and development and lays the foundations for resilience. The community is a critical partner in supporting caregivers in fostering Relational Health which is proven to result in the buffering of the effects of childhood adversity and preventing social, emotional, and physical health concerns in the future. Join other providers who care for children aged zero to three and community organizations who serve children and caregivers at the Nurturing Early Relational Health Symposium. Learn, Connect and be part of a collaborative to launch the development of a closed loop referral system for the Greater Nashville Community.

The CAPES Signature Project tests the effectiveness of @JasprHealth, a patient-facing tablet-based application, in the Emergency Department (ED). A chat bot guide patients through a suicide risk assessment, a safety plan, and lethal means counseling all while waiting for care. Jaspr also provides access to a menu of skills videos to manage distress, and a library of racially and culturally diverse, inspirational videos of people with suicide-centered lived experience. After leaving the ED, the patient can access their safety plan, skills videos, and shared stories on the Jaspr at home app. First, we are testing if Jaspr improves suicide outcomes under ideal conditions by comparing patients who receive routine ED care (n=335) to those who receive routine ED care plus Jaspr (n=335) when given by research staff at UMass Memorial. Then, we’ll test how well Jaspr improves outcomes when given as part of routine clinical care at four EDs in Colorado and Ohio (N=28,000).

Join today's conversation with updates on trial diversity and representation with Otis Johnson, PhD, MPA (Trial Equity) and Jeffrey Zucker (Tekton Research). So many conversations on the topic...where is there progress and what are the right next steps for study teams? Today at 12p on TGIF-DCT!

There is a lot to gain from first-in-human trials, however embracing greater complexity is essential for successful outcomes. That especially applies to the questions of ethics and considering what risk means for the participants involved. Check out this opportunity to gain a better understanding of the issues.

Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 (likely more) girls and women world wide. Average diagnosis for this very painful disease is 7-10 years. For me, it was 15. Although this disease is becoming more recognizable, there are still many people, especially adolescents, who are unaware of what this disease is. The Endometriosis Foundation of America strives to promote education and advocacy for all those affected. One way is through their ENPOWR Project, a "youth-centered initiative focused on delivering endometriosis education and menstrual health resources to adolescents in grades 9 through 12." Please see the video below about how you can help bring this much needed education to our adolescents in schools in your community, as well as, how you can volunteer to become an Endo Educator. Other Endometriosis resources can be found at enfound.org https://lnkd.in/efmJtWtu

https://buff.ly/4bCDm9A OCD is a highly heterogeneous disorder that can affect individuals of all ages, genders, and racial/ethnic backgrounds. Understanding and accounting for cultural and systemic factors is necessary for removing barriers to accessing care, preventing re-traumatization, and improving treatment outcomes. Enroll in our NEW online self-study course "Special Considerations: Trauma-Informed, Individualized, and Culturally Sensitive Treatment for OCD", presented by Melanie Smith, Ph.D., LMHC, CEDS-S, and learn how to tailor treatment to the unique characteristics and contexts in which a person lives and considerations for adapting treatment for a wide range of patient populations.
