Representation plays a crucial role in mental health care. It is essential for individuals to see themselves reflected in the healthcare system, as it promotes a sense of belonging and understanding. When people from diverse backgrounds are represented, it helps break down barriers and reduces stigma. #Inclusion #MentalHealthAwareness #CulturallyCompetentCare #TherapyWorks #BlackMentalHealth #CenteringElements #DiverseTherapists #BreakTheStigma #TherapistTuesday #CulturalCompetency #RepresentationMatters

Togetherall is a community all its own, where typical aspects of our identities aren't actually part of the equation. Individuals on Togetherall connect through experiences and feelings. Everyone is anonymous and all members are free to express themselves in a safe and judgement-free space; their struggles of the day, their challenges with a mental health condition, their issues with home or family, or something that they simply don't feel comfortable discussing with their inner circle. It’s a unique place, overseen by licensed #mentalhealth practitioners, 24/7/365, meaning that anyone can log on at any time, post what they’re going through and/or respond to someone else, and always have the safeguarding of clinical oversight. 🌼 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥.

Access to behavorial health services in nursung homes has been generally considered inadequate. At CHE, we recognize that best practices in behavioral health in LTC settings requires a "systems-level" approach. To that end, CHE psychologists, clinical social workers, and other qualified mental health specialists work to support not only the resident, but those invested in the resident's care and quality of life, including staff and family caregivers. By working as an essential and integral part of the interdisciplinary care team, the psychologist supports person-centered, individualized treatment recommendations that help maximize positive outcomes and improve the resident's emotional and physical well-being. #BehavioralHealth #NursingHomes #LTC #MentalHealth #QualityOfLife #InterdisciplinaryCare #PersonCenteredCare #behavioralhealthpartner #behavioralhealthprovider #mentalhealthpartner #PositiveOutcomes #EmotionalWellBeing #che #PhysicalWellBeing #readytotalk #readytolisten
