Ohio Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services’ Post

Over the past five years, mental health and substance use disorder have become top of mind, along with a lessening of the associated stigma. So this week on Sg2 Perspectives, host Jayme Zage, PhD, is joined by Sg2 Consultant Caleb Bentley, MHA and Director Stephanie Snider, who lead our research and trends and our forecasts for behavioral health services, to talk about the behavioral health care space. Caleb and Stephanie cover access challenges and innovations, as well as care integration and care redesign. https://bit.ly/420JXqo

Looking forward to speaking at TPN Health. While disruptive ideas are the hub of innovation, they can also be the bane of a group’s work. Trauma Informed Care (TIC) is one such idea. What is it about TIC that makes it disruptive? How do the very tenets of the philosophy and model contradict the modern mental health industry? When practiced well, what double binds does it create for the clinician and the client? And, how might this singularly important idea align to be even more powerful and accessible to those who survive overwhelming events that change their lives in problematic ways? These questions are the focal point of this presentation. Register here if you want to join me: https://lnkd.in/eryfwtBm

As designers and healthcare institutions seek to take a multi-faceted approach to addressing the country's mental health crisis, we're asking: What if designers not only incorporated thoughtful design into inpatient mental health settings, but also outpatient clinics, transitional housing, or even traditional healthcare or education settings? Our Stephanie Vito, AIA, ACHA will be speaking at the Design in Mental Health 2024 conference in England next week on how inclusive design, mental health design and trauma-informed design can be incorporated not only in traditional mental health spaces, but our everyday spaces as well. This could go a long way in preventing acute crises and creating more welcoming spaces for people of all backgrounds. Learn more about Stephanie's talk here: https://lnkd.in/gg9RYiNm

"Mental health is a universal human right" is the theme of today's #WorldMentalHealthDay. With no shortage of headlines and statistics about our current mental health crisis, there remains a limited access to care, stigma around seeking help and shortage of resources along the entire mental health care spectrum. One of the aims of our mental health practice is to make care facilities and mental health design strategies more universally accessible where people need them most-- and that is often right in the community, not in the outskirts. We transformed a vacant government building in downtown Kansas City into a mental health facility that not only provides care but also bolsters the local economy. https://lnkd.in/d5aaZSDn #WorldMentalHealthDay

In a world that prides itself on connectivity, why are our family services so disconnected? We've got a problem, and it's time to talk about it... - Our family services need to reflect our interconnected world. - Fragmented support for individuals facing mental health challenges isolates families. - High aspirations in speeches, low follow-through in actions. Limited budgets, fragmented focus. - Gary Thandi, MSW RSW Moving Forward Family Services advocates for a unified support system. - A one-stop service model, robust care networks, and budget reallocation for holistic family healing. Commit to systemic change. Prioritize integrated care. Transform promises into reality.
