Grateful and honored to share that Enthea was selected for the 2023 Global Recognition Award! I am so proud of the team's tireless dedication to spreading awareness & education, reducing stigma, sharing the clinical research and building the infrastructure to support employee access to psychedelic assisted therapy. As someone who has healed tremendously from these therapies, this is a purpose-led mission through The Sage Collective to help create affordable access to so many others that may not only benefit, but change their life through true healing. I spent more than 16 years working with self funded employers and unions, digging deep into claims data. I know all too well that we need a better way. SSRIs and talk therapy can be helpful, but for some (like myself), they weren't enough. Employers and unions need a new approach and employees / members are asking for better mental health care. Many are finding these therapies on their own - not always through the best sources and putting themselves in tough situations financially. We have legal options readily available that employers can cover now, as well as others in the approval process. It's important to add that psychedelics are not a panacea - but they can help get to the root cause of suffering and facilitate healthy, lasting changes in the brain. In my experience, they are also a catalyst to healthier coping mechanisms and mindfulness - like yoga, meditation, art, etc. - which help to sustain and continue to improve mental health.

Collaboration is key to navigating the barriers that often stand in the way of accessing quality treatment in the addiction and mental health field. By working together—treatment providers, community organizations, and advocates—we can create a network of support that ensures individuals receive the care they need. This collective effort helps break down obstacles like stigma, limited resources, and gaps in services, making recovery more accessible for everyone. Together, we can build a stronger, healthier community.

"In the heart of every mission-driven profession lies a paradox: the same empathy and dedication that fuel our work often also lead us to neglect our well-being. The nature of mission-driven work, whether in healthcare, education, social work, humanitarian work, and so many other professions dedicated to serving others, demands a high level of empathy, commitment, and emotional labor, leading many to put their own needs on the back burner. However, what most of us learn the hard way is that working this way isn’t sustainable over the long term, and no matter how much we think we’re compartmentalizing ourselves, without strong boundaries around our time, energy, and resources, our ability to serve others begins to lose efficacy over time. As we learn more about how trauma seeps into organizational culture, it’s important for individuals and organizations to understand that boundary-setting in the workplace isn’t an indulgence—it’s a necessity for sustainable service, and a testament to our commitment to ourselves, to our work, and to the people we serve."

See which of your neighbors and colleagues contributed to another powerful edition of The Well of PBC! We are the county's largest behavioral health magazine. Email us at thewell@bewellpbc.org to see how you can get involved too! As a community-directed publication, we are continually seeking new perspectives, resources and recommendations to enrich the lives of our community. We do this through our Source column where we encourage our readers to email us with their favorite podcasts, books, documentaries, apps, groups, social media accounts and other suggestions and we also accomplish this end by working with our distribution partners - individuals and groups who believe in the work we do and wish to shine a brighter spotlight on it.   I would like to thank our distribution partners for their investment and engagement in The Well of PBC. Their commitment not only expands our reach but also enables us to work together to further amplify the voices and concerns of our residents. If you are interested in joining us on our journey to transform the behavioral health landscape of Palm Beach County, I encourage you to email our marketing manager Katrina Blackmon at: katrina@bewellpbc.org. This issue, we honor September as National Recovery Month - recommitting ourselves to the prevention of substance misuse and highlighting the importance of evidence-based treatment and recovery. We commend the resilience of both those in recovery and those whose tireless support, love and encouragement makes recovery possible. Enrichment through engagement is the backbone of my communications philosophy. To truly understand a system, process or culture at a granular level, you need to get in the neighborhoods and engage with the people who are making sustainable change a reality as well as the people whose realities are being changed. A collaborative relationship built on trust, mutual respect and a shared vision means that we are able to learn more. Learning more means building the capacity to do more and in turn, that leads to doing better. For the Well of PBC and for our most important stakeholders - the residents of Palm Beach County.

The Three Horizons framework is typically used to think about the future. What is great about this version is that it recognizes the importance of how we go to this point. Many social issues have a deep embedded "memory" that they bring with them from past experiences - for example, trauma - and we need to first recognize this and work to address it before we can constructively move forwards. The graphic we share here is from our publication Seeding Futures for Wellbeing and reimagines the Three Horizons framework as creating different conditions for seeding futures.
