Across the nation, inadequate and inequitable access to behavioral health care is a public health crisis. Millions of Americans face mental health and substance use challenges — sometimes both at once, yet only a fraction receive any behavioral health treatment. The new and growing care model, the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), offers creative solutions with documented results to meet these challenges and is making significant headway toward access to equitable, high-quality behavioral health care that’s sustainable. View our whitepaper to learn more about how and why the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic is a model for sustainable, whole-patient care. https://ow.ly/Ei4N50QziSx

Dr. Andria Peterson, PharmD, Executive Director of the Roseman Medical Group EMPOWERED Program, joined us at the Neighborhood Health Series as our first guest speaker of the fall. Dr. Peterson presented on - EMPOWERED: How One Program is Changing the Lives of Recovering Moms with Substance Use Disorders and their Babies. In this presentation, Dr. Peterson discussed how EMPOWERED develops and unleashes the power of expectant and recent individuals with opioid and/or stimulant use disorders to actively manage their health and partner in their care, from recovery through stabilization to resilience. She also discussed EMPOWERED's iterative assessments, personalized care plans, counseling services, and health education for program participants through a four-step care plan. With increasing public awareness and support, the program is growing and impacting lives today while providing long-term benefits in support of healthy families. We'd like to give thanks to the brave EMPOWERED moms, Jen, Sydney, Amani, and Crystal for sharing their stories of recovery. Their individual and collective progress in the EMPOWERED embodies what the program is about: non-judgmental support no matter what stage of recovery they are in. We'd also like to give thanks to the EMPOWERED team, Roseman University College of Medicine, the Southern Nevada Health District, State of Nevada, and all of EMPOWERED's community partners for their support of the program. Finally, thank you to Vanessa Maniago, Roseman University Vice President for Strategic Implementation and Engagement, for organizing & implementing the Neighborhood Health Series event. If you or someone you know is pregnant or recently had a baby and using opioids or stimulants for any reason, you’re not alone. Many are facing a similar struggle. If you live in Southern Nevada, there is non-judgmental help available to you.

I was talking with a clinical psychologist about the state of Value-based care in Behavioral Health today. He had an incredible insight. He was at a major conference, watching a well known behavioral health professional speak, and that's when it hit him: All anyone wants to do is talk about the problems. Why implementing Value-Based care is so challenging. Why payers aren't buying in. Why providers aren't implementing it. But no one wants to talk about the solutions. Everyone is either hiding their secret sauce, or they don't really have a solution. We believe it is time for a change. We all know the problems. It's time to roll up our sleeves, exchange ideas, and get to work. If you agree, like this post and I'll let you in on what we're cooking up 👨🍳 #ValueBasedCare #BehavioralHealth
