At CONNECT, a lot of our focus is on knowledge distillation: simplifying complex medical information and making it more widely available and understandable to broader audiences. Part of that involves advocacy around mental health. By collaborating with healthcare professionals, patients, associations, and industry to create knowledge distillation tools around mental health, we are: ✅ Reducing the stigma ✅ Opening up the conversation by spreading awareness and education ✅ Providing support for patients and caregivers To learn more about what CONNECT has to offer, visit our website linked in the comments. #HealthcarePartners #CONNECTCommunications #medicalcommunications

When it comes to creating change and driving to close care gaps, you don't have to be in the field of question. No conversation is too inconsequential, it can be uncomfortable to introduce topics like #BlackMaternalHealth within your inner circle. Being an advocate and amplifier can feel alienating, but it's nothing compared to the way certain groups who need our support must feel. We can all be drivers of change within our respective environments. No matter the subject. Only through community, will we progress humanity. I can't wait to showcase how I can contribute not just through conceptual discussion but through data-driven insights with actionable recommendations!

Proactive recognition and treatment of tardive dyskinesia (TD) can make a positive impact in the lives of many people managing their mental illness with antipsychotic medications. That’s why we are committed to working with all segments of the healthcare system – patients, care partners, advocacy organizations, healthcare providers, government and public health officials – to advocate for routine screenings for TD as the standard of care for at-risk patients.

Loneliness, anxiety, and depression are at record highs. There seems to be division and discontentment wherever we turn – from political polarization and social media feuds to road rage and workplace tensions. Now more than ever, the world needs presence, optimism, generosity, and kindness. During 2024, SSM Health invites our staff and community to participate in an intentional “Year of Kindness” campaign, starting with ideas on how you can show kindness to those you work with each day. https://bit.ly/4a8mere

"With patient navigation, [it's] that extra layer of checking in with somebody, making sure that all of their socioeconomic needs are met, and their mental health needs are addressed within a family planning visit, and any other need that may arise that may contribute to their physical health that the provider is not able to address at that visit.
