Collaborative Care (CoCM) is the solution for which we've all been looking. It's the first behavioral health-focused model to have proven positive clinical AND financial outcomes.

Did you know? May is not only Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s also Older Americans Month. While mental health awareness among youth is growing, the challenges faced by our 65+ community often stay under the radar. Anxiety is the most common mental health issue in adults, yet 2/3 of seniors with concerns don’t receive the needed treatment. Symptoms like persistent worry or insomnia are too often dismissed as signs of aging. Our older loved ones – parents, grandparents, spouses, and friends – deserve quality mental healthcare. At Emcara Health, we deliver compassionate, coordinated in-home longitudinal care tailored to the unique needs of vulnerable adults.

Did you know that even a brief chat with a friend each day can have a significant positive impact on your mental health? A recent study published in Communication Research shows that simple acts of connection, like catching up, joking around, or offering a sincere compliment, can help reduce stress, anxiety, and feelings of loneliness. These findings come as a reminder of the importance of human connection, especially after the social isolation many experienced during the pandemic. Dr. Thea Gallagher from NYU Langone Health emphasizes, "Small moments of connection are so important for us as part of the human experience." Mental health is essential for everyone, and taking small steps like having a meaningful conversation can help preserve our well-being. Let's be intentional about finding these moments of connection in our daily lives.
