Seven Hills Foundation’s Post

There is a growing mental health crisis in America. Nearly 3 in 10 adults report symptoms of anxiety and depression, yet the lack of resources for behavioral health needs is significant. This gap is even pronounced in rural areas where there is only one psychiatrist for every 30,000 people. Helmsley’s #mentalhealth grants are providing innovative ways to address the gap in mental healthcare services across the upper Midwest. From funding a crisis treatment center that offers the greater Sioux Falls region’s first partial hospitalization service for youth to creating Montana’s first psychiatry training program, our Rural Healthcare Program is committed to making sure rural communities have equal access to mental healthcare. “As a former first responder, wanting to be sure that communities can offer support close to home when someone is in crisis is a priority—geography should never dictate your access to care,” said Helmsley Trustee Walter Panzirer.

#Families raising #autistic #children can often face significant stress, marital strain, and parenting challenges. Therapeutic approaches, such as Systemic Autism-related Family Enabling (SAFE), can help improve family dynamics and support children’s development. #MentalHealth professionals may also play a key role in enhancing communication, reducing stress, and fostering resilience. Effective family #therapy can strengthen relationships and help manage the challenges of autism more effectively. “Supporting Families with Autistic Children – What More Can Be Done?” By Narpinder Kaur Malhi, MD Rama Rao Gogineni, MD Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry Family Committee 📰 Read the article: https://lnkd.in/enrxhKSw

New initiative to help people with psychiatric problems participate in society: 6 out of the 35 apartments would be rented to tenants who are willing and able to spend 8 hours a week to socialize with their neighbors with psychiatric problems. Nice initiative, for the former patients. The catch is: the market-conform rent for a two-occupant apartment is set at €1475, excluding service charge of €75. To make this work, the potential tenants need to be able to be firm with the other neighbors. Because, it would require you to do more than just invite them over for coffee. This is emotional labor. The lowest pay for a #psychiatric counsellor is €10 an hour. That means, the tenant would have to "pay" an extra €80 a week in the form of emotional labor. So, in reality, the tenant would be paying €320 on top of the €1475, which is €1795 per month. And you need to be able to turn your neighors away and guard your boundaries, say if they come knocking every day and refuse to leave after you let them in. I have mixed feelings about such a project. Very ambitious, I'd say. However, is it fair to expect a rent of almost €1800?! €400 to €500 would be a fairer deal, since the apartments are new and near the city center. #woningnood #housingshortage #emotionallabor is labor!

🌱 **Great therapists are born, not made!** 🌱 Some of us have been *unofficial* therapists since childhood—like me, the last born, expertly navigating sibling drama and resolving conflicts between friends in boarding school, all while collecting zero paychecks. 😂👶 Turns out, those years of peace-making and conflict resolution were just early career training! As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I now apply those natural gifts to help my clients heal—mind, body, and spirit. Psychiatry isn't just about treating symptoms; it's about truly *connecting* with the whole person and guiding them toward balance. A great therapist? They’re empathetic, great listeners, problem-solvers, and they don’t just work on the surface—they dig deep, finding holistic ways to help clients thrive. To all my fellow *born* therapists out there—keep doing what you do best. 🌟 #MentalHealthMatters #HolisticHealing #BornToBeATherapist #EmpathyInAction

De-institutionalization of #mentalhealthcare is the process of shifting #mentalhealth care and support from long-stay #psychiatric institutions to community mental #healthservices. For centuries, psychiatric hospitals have been the primary model for delivering #mentalhealthservices. Human rights violations and poor treatment have been extensively documented in such institutions. Over the past few decades, deinstitutionalization has gained global attention, with the growing push towards community-based mental health care. #healthcare #beahvioralhealth #brainhealth

During this Mental Health Awareness month, we're taking a moment to look back at 2023. Despite making progress in policy and support for mental health services, access remains a significant challenge. That's why AMN Healthcare Physician Solutions stepped up, delivering over 20,000 days of locum tenens psychiatric coverage for more than 200 providers across the country. As we continue to navigate this challenge in 2024, our efforts must continue to bridge this gap and ensure all Americans have access to the care they need.

The ECAP July issue is out now! In his editorial "Waking up in the new normal" (https://lnkd.in/eUYhjcwx) Julian Koenig writes about the recent EU parliament elections and its significance for child and adolescent mental health. "...ESCAP’s position on this year’s European parliament election (https://lnkd.in/eUuMTJfa) was clear in raising awareness for the “deep scars” that multiplying crises left on the European youth, demanding that youth mental is treated as a priority throughout the next legislative period. This month’s issue of European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, adds to the existing evidence highlighting the need for policy action and provides clear guidance on this path. A reoccurring topic are crises and the handling of their aftermath...."

March is National Developmental Disabilities Month, and as a Mental Health thought leader, I acknowledge that many individuals with mental illness also suffer from developmental disabilities. The US Surgeon General recently declared loneliness as a national mental health epidemic, making it clear that it's time for the Medical and Healthcare Innovations space to shift focus towards mental health treatment. Let's explore more innovations in telepsychiatry, virtual psychotherapy, and psychiatric home health services. With these innovations, we can make mental health a top priority in healthcare. I'm eager to learn more about these types of innovations, and I invite you to join me in this critical conversation. Let's work together to make a positive impact on the mental health community. Join me in recognizing #NationalDevelopmentalDisabilitiesMonth and advocating for better mental health treatment. #MentalHealth #HealthcareInnovations #Telepsychiatry #VirtualPsychotherapy #HomeHealthServices
