Dr. Andria Peterson, PharmD, Executive Director of the Roseman Medical Group EMPOWERED Program, joined us at the Neighborhood Health Series as our first guest speaker of the fall. Dr. Peterson presented on - EMPOWERED: How One Program is Changing the Lives of Recovering Moms with Substance Use Disorders and their Babies. In this presentation, Dr. Peterson discussed how EMPOWERED develops and unleashes the power of expectant and recent individuals with opioid and/or stimulant use disorders to actively manage their health and partner in their care, from recovery through stabilization to resilience. She also discussed EMPOWERED's iterative assessments, personalized care plans, counseling services, and health education for program participants through a four-step care plan. With increasing public awareness and support, the program is growing and impacting lives today while providing long-term benefits in support of healthy families. We'd like to give thanks to the brave EMPOWERED moms, Jen, Sydney, Amani, and Crystal for sharing their stories of recovery. Their individual and collective progress in the EMPOWERED embodies what the program is about: non-judgmental support no matter what stage of recovery they are in. We'd also like to give thanks to the EMPOWERED team, Roseman University College of Medicine, the Southern Nevada Health District, State of Nevada, and all of EMPOWERED's community partners for their support of the program. Finally, thank you to Vanessa Maniago, Roseman University Vice President for Strategic Implementation and Engagement, for organizing & implementing the Neighborhood Health Series event. If you or someone you know is pregnant or recently had a baby and using opioids or stimulants for any reason, you’re not alone. Many are facing a similar struggle. If you live in Southern Nevada, there is non-judgmental help available to you.

Therapy has been useful for many people to unpack and move through many of life's challenges. However access to therapy for some communities can be difficult. Specifically therapy for BIPOC young folks can be hard to access but a beneficial tool for support when life's challenges present itself. In this week's blog post our clinical resident Jasmine McElroy details how therapy for BIPOC young people can truly be helpful. Share and comment, let us know what you think. https://lnkd.in/etZM4NkJ

Before 40% of Americans can progress in integration and coordination, they need to move from half enough primary care, mental health, and womens health workforce/services/spending to sufficient. Even more important is the move from fewer and lesser delivery team members to most and best team members. This not only requires about 100 billion more for each of primary care, mental health, and womens health spending, there must be 300 billion taken from health care doing best. If I see claims for higher functions, I am going to ask to see where the money is going to come from and where it is going to go. Because most Americans are most behind by design, we must be very intentional about assessing proposals to address their basic needs.

I just read this report. Love when outcomes cover qualitative and quantitative data, and breakouts for groups like BIPOC and neurodiverse. Insights into new pilot programs and initiatives are really interesting too! #mentalhealth #research #outcomes #clientoutcomes #youthmentalhealth #qualitativeresearch #mbc #data #dataquality

Clinical practices and independent practitioners can support the mental health of their patients from disadvantaged groups by implementing social media into their communications. "Social media is typically the most effective way to share news from a practice to a community,” Melinda Beavers, M.D., Ph.D., of Bloom Pediatric Partners, shares with Tebra's The Intake. Practitioners can extend patients’ in-office experiences to social media by highlighting the importance of caring for mental health and how patients can seek help. "The reality is that we can no longer rely on in-office visits only to educate and engage with patients," Beavers says. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/dNe-Z-TE Faced with the challenge of balancing patient care and business operations amidst a global pandemic, Beavers turned to Social Cascade for a strategic social media boost. Social Cascade helps deliver relevant education exactly where patients are searching.

Across the nation, inadequate and inequitable access to behavioral health care is a public health crisis. Millions of Americans face mental health and substance use challenges — sometimes both at once, yet only a fraction receive any behavioral health treatment. The new and growing care model, the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), offers creative solutions with documented results to meet these challenges and is making significant headway toward access to equitable, high-quality behavioral health care that’s sustainable. View our whitepaper to learn more about how and why the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic is a model for sustainable, whole-patient care. https://ow.ly/Ei4N50QziSx
