At J. Flowers Health Institute, we work with adults and adolescents from a variety of ages, backgrounds, and industries. We can tackle struggles related to mental health, substance abuse, trauma, and chronic pain. Our evaluations are comfortable, personal, and private. Our comprehensive diagnostic evaluations help to assist in this, by what we like to refer to as “Living MRI.” These evaluations include things like brain mapping, lifestyle assessments, speciality physicians consult, psychological diagnostic testing, and more.

"As to methods, there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble." ~ Harrington Emerson Altered for trauma informed healthcare: "As to healthcare system methods, there may be a million and then some, but trauma informed principles and organizational domains are few. The healthcare organization that grasps trauma informed principles and domains can successfully select their own methods. The healthcare organization that tries methods, ignoring trauma informed principles and domains, is sure to have continued troubles."

It was my pleasure to support my longtime friend Dr Damon Tweedy at a recent Q&A for his latest book, Facing The Unseen: The Struggle to Center Mental Health in Medicine. In this book, Damon shares how his experience as a psychiatrist helped him realize where our society and our healthcare delivery system can better integrate the management of mental illness with the rest of medical care. Hopefully, as more of us individuals learn to #StartWithWellbeing in our own approach to life, we can enact the medical education and public policy shifts that Damon recommends to improve mental healthcare for all in this country. #EssenceOfStrength #StartWithWellbeing #SuccessWithSatisfaction #PhysicianWellbeing
