The Benefits of Involving Family and Caregivers in Recovery In the journey towards mental health recovery, the role of family and caregivers is pivotal. Here's why their involvement can be transformative: - Decrease in Relapse Rates: Involving loved ones in the recovery process can lead to a significant decrease in relapse rates, providing a stable support system that fosters resilience. - Better Medication Adherence: When family and caregivers are engaged, individuals are more likely to adhere to their medication regimens, ensuring a smoother path to recovery. -Reduced Stigmatization: The support of family and caregivers helps combat stigma, promoting a more understanding and accepting environment for those recovering. - Fewer Hospital Admissions: A strong support network can lead to fewer hospital admissions, highlighting the importance of community care in mental health. Family and caregivers play a crucial role in mental health recovery. Their support reduces relapse rates, improves medication adherence, and combats stigma. Let’s champion their involvement for a more empathetic mental health system. West African Institute of Public Health #MentalHealthAwareness #VIP2024

How can the next government address inequalities in the mental health system? By recognising the importance of the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector, enforcing equitable frameworks, reforming the Integrated Care System‘s roles to consistently address inequalities, and focusing on the needs of minoritised communities, the new government can make significant strides in addressing systemic inequalities in the mental health system.

mental healthcare that’s developed in recent years. Whatever the reasons — and there are many — Americans are frustrated with the lack of help, as a severe shortage of therapists leaves many people with no obvious treatment options. In a new survey of US adults, three-fourths say the mental healthcare system is worse than the physical healthcare system. That’s a bit like saying rotten apples are worse than rotten oranges, in a country that ranks pitifully in healthcare effectiveness compared to other advanced nations and has the lowest life expectancy among comparable countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Japan and the UK. It’s gotten so bad that more than half of respondents graded the US healthcare system’s handling of mental health conditions with a D or an F, according the survey by Gallup for the West Health Institute, a nonprofit that advocates for better healthcare for aging Americans. https://lnkd.in/d3XM9TaX

Reflecting on the strides made in mental healthcare throughout 2023 fills us with hope and inspiration, especially as we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month. From policy changes in Congress supporting better reimbursements for licensed professionals to the increased recognition of the invaluable role played by peer-support specialists and community healthcare centers, our nation celebrated numerous accomplishments. Yet, amid these victories, a sobering reality remains—many Americans still grapple with limited access to crucial mental health care services. Despite our advancements in knowledge and advocacy for mental health treatment, the persistent shortage of qualified psychiatrists nationwide continues to hinder progress. As we move forward into 2024, let's build upon the momentum of 2023's achievements and redouble our efforts to address the root causes of mental health access challenges. Together, through continued collaboration, innovation, and dedication, we can ensure that every individual in need receives the compassionate and effective care they deserve.
