It’s Friday of National Public Health Week – let’s look at behavioral health services in North County. Despite a remarkable 596% increase in Marriage & Family Therapists employed since 2012, there's still a significant shortage of behavioral health workers. According to a 2022 report by San Diego Workforce Partnership, California's behavioral health workforce can only meet about a quarter of its need. SDNEDC investors TURN Behavioral Health Services, Palomar Health, Tri-City Medical Center, The Elizabeth Hospice and TrueCare are actively working to address this challenge. TURN Behavioral/Mental Health Systems (with 12 service centers in North County and a mission to reduce disparities in behavioral healthcare delivery) is leading the charge with innovative services focused on mental health, supportive housing, substance use disorders, and justice-involved individuals. Palomar Health and Tri-City Medical Center are expanding access to care by building new behavioral health hospitals, while The Elizabeth Hospice provides essential support and comfort to individuals and families facing life-limiting illnesses. TrueCare provides access to mental health services at 5 North County community clinics spanning Oceanside, San Marcos, and Encinitas. As the demand for behavioral health services continues to grow, these SDNEDC investors and other healthcare providers remain committed to bridging the gap and ensuring that everyone in North County has access to the care they need. #NPHW #behavioralhealth #sandiegohealth North County Industry Clusters: https://lnkd.in/gRA5XkR8 San Diego Workforce Study: https://lnkd.in/gv879CJM

Strategies for overcoming staffing challenges in substance abuse treatment centers 1. Targeted Recruitment and Retention Programs: Attracting and retaining qualified professionals through competitive benefits and career growth opportunities. 2.

New guidance has been issued regarding the culture of care we all expect when it comes to #mentalhealth inpatient services. The standards apply to all NHS-funded mental health inpatient service types, including those for people with a learning disability and autistic people, as well as specialised mental health inpatient services such as mother and baby units, secure services, and children and young people’s mental health inpatient services. This guidance supports providers in realising the culture of care that everyone, including people who use services, families, carers, and staff, want to experience in mental health inpatient settings. #autism #learningdisability #pharma #medtech #devices

We love LifeStance Health 💙 🧠 As a #BehavioralHealth optimization partner I work with Behavioral Health facilities all over the country, including #virtualproviders and #digitalplatforms However, I know from #PERSONALexperience, and I'll share transparently, everyone in my family sees a counselor. We have all experienced a great deal of #trauma over the last few years (not even including the pandemic) and we work individually and together to assure our #mentalwellness including: my husband, my 17 year old son, and my 15 year old daughter! 👨👩👦👦 🎯 Lifestance has always been transparent, upfront on costs, and accesible to providers! 📊 We actually utilized another digital platform, a competitor of Lifestance, recently, to explore options. *It's important to shop providers and programs to indentify what is most successful and beneficial to your wellness... The new digital paltofrm we picked was awesome too - our son loved it and saw great benefits. However, through a 15 week program we were NEVER connected with a psychiatric provider! An amazing counselor, yes, but not the Psychiatric provider we were told we'd be seeing. After our son had completed the program, in a post treatment survey I mentioned that we were never connected with a provider and although they apologized they admitted that they didn't have any psychiatric providers in their network!!! They did refer us out to a provider down the street, which is fine, the other, local provider is great, but we chose (and paid for) the (comprehensive) digital program, under the understanding that Psychiatric evaluation was apart of the program. My point in many ways is two-fold: What is advertised isn't always real - check in on what you're investing in. AND There is a DIRE #SHORTAGE of #mentalhealth practitioners. #Psychiatry #Psychiatrist #PsychiatricNursePractitioners #PsychNP #BehavorialHealthcareProviderShortage #PhysicianShortage #ProviderShortage #RecruitmentPartner
