Despite attempts to improve disparities in access to treatment, research shows that racial and ethnic minority populations continue to face significant challenges in accessing any form of mental health or substance use treatment, let alone culturally sensitive treatment. MHA believes that the best response is for all providers including MHA and its affiliates to embrace and integrate a multifaceted, holistic, approach to diversity that focuses on acceptance, inclusion, and understanding of the needs of all communities. We strive for a better tomorrow by adopting the truth that all people deserve equal opportunities in health care including mental health care.

Across most of the United States, behavioral health care remains inaccessible to a large portion of the population. While more needs to be done to bridge the gap, one option that's stepping up to fill these unmet needs is behavioral health coaching. While not on par with clinicians or licensed therapists, they can provide patients with some much-needed support. That said, the behavioral health coaching industry lacks comprehensive regulations and standards, requiring patients to do additional research. If we want these services to meaningfully contribute to the wider behavioral health sphere, we will likely need to see some degree of standardization. https://lnkd.in/d4SbtWU4 #BehavioralScience #HealthServices #MentalHealth

I love seeing how Mirah continues to help its customers use #MBC to help patients reduce anxiety and depression in a #datadriven manner. Thanks to Fort Health for publishing and sharing these results! Behavioral health studies show two things over-and-over: 1) A majority of behavioral health care is not measured using evidence-based practices, and 2) When measurement is used in behavioral health, there are substantial improvements across the patients who came in with heightened anxiety or depression. As a #datascientist, point 1 maddens me to no end, while point 2 reinforces my belief that evidence-based practices using actual data can and will make a difference. I am encouraged to see Mirah lead the way in making that difference a reality.
Studies show that 20% of behavioral health care is not measured. So how are we to know if it works? Thanks to our measurement-based care platform, we can proudly and confidently state that Fort Health's care does indeed work. Thank you, Mirah for helping us prove our impact. Thank you, Child Mind Institute for helping our team provide the kind of quality care that reaches this level of impact. If you're a practice, group, system, or health plan that demands proven outcomes in behavioral health care, get in touch. We'd love to work together.

A gripping webinar organized by the Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) revealed a nuanced template for addressing substance use from a public health perspective. The webinar underscored an innovative approach to developing public health policies related to substance use. A few things to note: (1) Upholding an individual's autonomy is vital while dealing with health determinants. (2) There is a need for partnerships with individuals who have had first-hand experiences; these partnerships should ensure that the affected people play an integral role in policy and decision-making processes. (3) A bold commitment to eradicate stigmatization and discrimination is what drives this noble course— this will see a more inclusive and just health sector. From my perspective as a critical health sociologist, I find interest in how it integrates trauma(healing)-informed, gender-transformative, anti-racist, culturally safe practices— which should form the basis when coming up with any policies towards substance use. Holistic approaches should include harm reduction and human rights at the forefront to recognize the full spectrum of substance use & addiction. The stress on practical and evidenced decision-making, which facilitates bridging the gap of research to application in reality, is highly compatible with my work philosophy. This approach makes public/community health programs more effective, sustainable, and capable of responding to diverse communities' needs. I look forward to the sector's efforts to advance equity in health and transformative policies towards public/community/population health—an essential realm of public healthcare that impacts many lives. #PublicHealth #HealthEquity #SubstanceUse #CPHA #SocialJustice #HealthPolicy #Addiction #MentalHealth #MentalHealthPolicy #PopulationHealth #CommunityCentric #DrugPolicy Link to video: https://lnkd.in/exs8UejY

The intersection of mobile health technologies and substance abuse treatment is a game-changer. With the right strategies, we can increase accessibility for disadvantaged populations and reduce barriers like cost and wait times. This could be a turning point in addressing the diversity and proximity challenges in mental health care. Improved reimbursement rates and legislative support like the CARE Act are steps in the right direction. Are we ready to leverage tech to expand our workforce and innovate treatment models? Let’s discuss how we can best implement these solutions to tackle the substance use crisis effectively.
The population has become more diverse racially and ethnically. Non-Hispanic (NH) White people accounted for a smaller share of the population in 2020 (57.8%) than in 2010 (63.7%). At the same time, Hispanic (16.3% to 18.7%), NH-multiracial (1.9% to 4.1%), and NH-Asian (4.7% to 5.9%) people increased as a share of the population. ■ The change in racial and ethnic diversity has occurred largely in younger age groups. For example, 92.2% of Hispanic, 94.0% of NH-multiracial, and 86.8%% of NH-Asian people are under age 65. ■ In contrast, only 79.0% of NH-White people are age 65 years or younger. This trend suggests an increased need for more culturally and linguistically appropriate services for pediatric care, obstetric care, and mental health care, among others.
