Did you know that last year the state of New York passed legislation that required the State Department of Health to create a doula directory and cover doula services for all Medicaid enrollees? The new initiative aims to tackle the alarming rates of infant mortality and maternal health disparities by investing in crucial services like doula support and community health programs. Key points from the initiative: ✔ Doula Services Expansion: The plan includes significant investments to expand access to doula services, recognizing the crucial role they play in supporting expectant and new mothers. ✔ Focus on Equity: The initiative is designed to address racial and socioeconomic disparities in maternal and infant health, ensuring that all families have access to quality care and support. ✔ Community Health Programs: Additional funding will be directed towards community-based health programs that provide essential resources and support to families throughout the prenatal and postpartum periods. This initiative reflects a growing understanding of the importance of comprehensive, culturally competent care in improving health outcomes for mothers and infants. At Phoenix Health, we are dedicated to supporting maternal mental health and welcome these positive changes that align with our mission. Let's spread the word and support these vital efforts to ensure healthier futures for all families. Together, we can make a difference! #MaternalHealth #InfantHealth #DoulaServices #HealthEquity #PhoenixHealth #SupportMothers #MentalHealth

We’re thrilled to kick off a new series dedicated to enhancing the effectiveness of clinician-led groups and organizations. Every Wednesday for the next five weeks, we’ll dive into an essential practice. Today, we start with: Practice #1: Making Meetings Matter Meetings can be powerful tools for collaboration and decision-making, but only if they’re done right. Here’s a practical guide to transforming your meetings into impactful sessions: 1. Determine Meeting Necessity and Attendees Before the meeting, clarify the decisions that need to be made and who needs to be involved. If there are no decisions to be made or if certain people are not contributing to the decision-making process, reconsider their attendance or the meeting itself. This ensures that every participant is essential and engaged. 2. Always Have an Agenda “No agenda, no meeting!” 📋 If there's no clear purpose, it’s time to reconsider the necessity of the meeting. An agenda helps keep the discussion on track and ensures that everyone knows what to expect. 3. Start with a Check-in Question Opening with a check-in question is more than just a warm-up. It builds camaraderie and helps everyone feel more connected. For example, ask, "What's one success you had this week?" This small step can set a positive tone and foster engagement right from the start. 4. Pluses and Deltas at the End End each meeting with a brief reflection on what went well (pluses) and what could be improved (deltas). This continuous feedback loop helps your team learn and adapt, making each meeting better than the last. Implementing these steps can make your meetings not only more efficient but also more engaging and productive. Stay tuned for our next post where we’ll explore another key practice for building strong clinician-led organizations! Let’s make meetings matter! 💼💡 Do you want to learn more?

Tracking behavioral health habits works. Two cohorts of YOUUniverse behavioral health clients were examined by tracking 12 habit categories (some real time) over a one year period. 84% of clients whose habit data was continuously tracked saw sustained positive long-term successful outcomes vs. a comparable non-tracked group (of 61%). That's a big deal. Want to know more? Chat now to Charlie and ask why. https://lnkd.in/gnnaCnGn #AskCharlieWhy #mentalhealthoutcomes #youuhealth #valuebasedcare
