If the goal of human-centered services is to promote health and wellness, having difficult conversations about history is an essential ingredient to individual and system-wide growth. In the latest episode of Talking Beyond Trauma, Mordecai Dixon and Dr. Tonicia Freeman-Foster discuss the impact of history on the establishment of medical practices impacting mental health treatment in the Americas, specifically mental health diagnosis, on marginalized and oppressed people.

🧠 This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, a time to acknowledge the importance of mental well-being and break the stigma surrounding mental illness. We also want to recognize that physicians continue to see a significant number of patients for mental health consultations. As a refresher, we have created a blog that provides a comprehensive overview of the most common OHIP billing codes for mental health care. Let's use this week to raise awareness, support each other, and prioritize self-care, including the mental health of our healthcare providers.

This May is both Mental Health Awareness Month and Older Americans Month, and as such, MedTrans Go wants to highlight the often over looked intersection between the two. Over half the older adults that experience mental health issues are unable to access mental health services. At MedTrans Go, we empower older adults to live independently and get the mental health care they need by providing transportation to and interpretation for any medical appointments. Let's bridge the gaps in healthcare together! #olderamericansmonth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthmonth

#Highmark is thrilled to share that Mental Well-Being powered by Spring Health is having a very positive impact on our members. Specifically, in the first 6 months of 2024, they're seeing faster access to appointments, better outcomes than national averages, and a personalized experience to facilitate getting care (often for the first time). Mental and behavioral care are an essential part of caring for the whole person, but lack of access, stigma and other barriers often prevent people from seeking care. They set out to change that when they increased access points by 40% this year alone, and they're committed to continuing to invest in their members’ care.
