Years ago, we partnered with a healthcare facility and provided recommendations to create a welcoming space for veterans with PTSD, autism, and sensory sensitivities. Key improvements included calming colors, adjustable lighting, noise reduction, flexible seating, and more! By addressing sensory needs, healthcare providers can foster trust, improve communication, and enhance health outcomes. Let’s make healthcare more inclusive, one sensory-friendly space at a time!

The Hidden Key to Health Outcomes The real challenge isn’t just the experiences we go through, but how they’re processed—or not processed—over time. Children who face trauma without support carry those unprocessed experiences into adulthood, affecting their health later on. What’s alarming is that many medical professionals are unaware of the ACES study, which reveals these crucial connections. Even when educating doctors at major facilities like Kaiser Permanente, some still haven’t heard of it. Screening new patients, it's important to dive into their early life experiences to understand their health better. Sometimes it’s met with surprise, but knowing this can make a huge difference in healing. #ACESTudy #TraumaHealing #HealthOutcomes #MindBodyConnection #MedicalAwareness

Visualizing a desired outcome can activate the same neural pathways as actually experiencing it, according to research in the journal Frontiers in Public Health. High performance athletes use this technique before a game or competition. So, why do we not do this more frequently for other things in our life?

🌟 Breaking the 24/7 Care Cycle 🌟 Did you know? Informal caregivers often invest up to 24 hours a week attending to their loved ones, frequently at the cost of their own mental and physical health. This unyielding commitment can spiral into burnout and exhaustion, affecting both the caregiver and the one they care for. We are excited to unveil our newest case study, highlighting the transformative impact of the ianacare solution on family care teams. Our findings shed light on the untapped potential of respite support, a lifeline that remains underutilized. 🔑 Key Insights: • A mere 22% of caregivers tap into respite care support. • Numerous obstacles hinder access to respite care, from limited awareness of available options to deep-seated social and cultural stigmas. • Embracing respite care is more than a relief—it's a game-changer. It's proven to ward off caregiver burnout, exhaustion, and depression, paving the way for improved health outcomes and significant savings in healthcare costs. https://lnkd.in/eZ2V3CTH
