Facts and feelings are like water and oil. Many feel like #privateequity has taken over this or that segment of #behavioralhealth. Newly revealed facts show that about 6% to 7% of facilities in the space are owned by private equity firms, with a few states seeing much greater concentration. Far from a fast-rolling conquest. #mentalhealth #addictiontreatment https://lnkd.in/gWCTDUWK

More headlines highlight shifts in the behavioral health (BH) landscape, indicating momentum towards expanded access and integrated care: • Eleanor Health’s $30M Series D Funding: Led by General Catalyst, this investment reflects growing interest in scaling evidence-based SUD treatment models and the increasing role of VC/private equity, especially in value-based care. Eleanor Health aims for broad expansion through scalable, hybrid care delivery models. • HRSA’s $240M for Community Health Centers: This funding targets expanding SUD and MH services to address unmet needs, particularly in underserved areas, aligning with ongoing federal investment since the pandemic. Recent UDS data shows that health centers are growing, with 61% of patients publicly insured and 41% in rural areas. BH organizations that aren’t evolving or defining their value proposition are apt to face challenges, especially if they can’t demonstrate improved outcomes for complex, high-acuity populations. Team Reflection: 1. How are we measuring our unique value? 2. How are we communicating it to stakeholders? 3. How prepared are we for value-based care? How do we know? #IntegratedCare #ValueBasedCare #BehavioralHealth

Excellent piece discussing the impact of Private Equity on our industry.

Ever thought about what makes a mental healthcare partnership really click? Our journey with C2, led by dedicated professionals like Dr. Patricia Vriesendorp, Dr. Elizabeth Frei, and Stéphanie Goffaux, shows just that. It's all about creating a space where therapists feel connected and supported. At Sanzu, we're making therapy management easier for them and their clients, perfectly aligning with C2's mission. Our collaboration really shone at the 4th Annual Open Space Day, where we brought our strengths together for a bigger impact. We're here to make therapists' lives simpler and more connected. By cutting down the daily grind of managing a practice, therapists get to focus more on helping clients. This partnership is about joining hands to give therapists the tools they need and creating a community that supports each other. It's not just our story; it's about every therapist who joins us on this journey. If you are interested in a partnership that’s all about support and growth, get in touch and let’s see how we can work together.

The last SAMHSA-sponsored NW MHTTC ACT Virtual Consultation Meetings is this upcoming Monday (August 5th, 12pm PST / 3pm EST). If you have not registered, you can do so here:  https://lnkd.in/e35egt9B I will be presenting Findings from the National ACT Study. This was the largest descriptive study of ACT ever conducted - all with funding and support from Arnold Ventures. In next week's meeting, I will present some of the findings across all major parts of the study. As with other meetings, this will be recorded and available to those unable to attend. This massive project, which many of you participated in (thank you!), entailed: - a careful surveying of each US state in their implementation of ACT and forensic ACT (FACT) - how many teams, reimbursement, program oversight, fidelity monitoring, workforce development; - surveying ACT team leaders (n = 306, representing 40 US States/Districts/Territories) to better understand your experience in workforce recruitment and retention, aspects of your program and who you are serving; and - examination of ACT fidelity data (TMACT) across 11 US states (n = 216 teams) - examining distributions of fidelity/practice, as well as describing attributes of the team and clients served, both for higher and lower fidelity programs. The aim of this study was to fill a significant knowledge gap in the world of ACT. We hope the finds will better inform implementation and dissemination decisions, especially as it relates to higher fidelity ACT support.  

Great article on how #collectivetraumahealing is necessary for #systemschange by the Collective Change Lab team. Thank you for bringing these insights and examples to the light. If you work on any type of #systemchange approach, this article is for you - as the work is much deeper than speaking/thinking about change! Great to see Glasswing International as a case study!

Solution focused therapy (SFT) is solution- and future-oriented, assuming that clients have resources to solve their own problems. This article examines the philosophy, assumptions, concepts, and treatment stages of SFT:

Trauma Informed Care OT Practices - Proximity in 1 to 1 conversations or service delivery / therapy. Do clients (or yourself) have a choice where they sit, how close they are to you, at what angle etc.? Do you verbally, visually, environmentaly offer a choice? A trauma informed care approach facilitates these choices, acknowledging that proximity and choice making can have a significant impact on relationship based practices & nervous system arousal. Feel free offerring a choice of distance, angle at which you may sit, which chair is an option etc, when working alongside people today. You might begin practising initially with a peer or familiar person, noting how different options of proximity feels, or is experienced by both parties. Maybe experiment the same practices with someone who is less familiar, or with someone who is your senior/or holds power. Reflection: is this a different experience, or similar? In what way? How might this relate to clients? How might this relate to people with a history of traumatic experiences? This is one part of Trauma Informed Care OT practices I share in training, workshops & supervision- I hope it resonates with you.
