It’s #WorldVeterinaryDay and today we’re teaching you Emancipet’s Six Domains of Quality Healthcare! We refer to these domains as SEEPET. S - Safe E - Effective E - Efficient P - Patient-centered E - Equitable T - Timely Often used in human healthcare, the six domains go beyond just the safety of a healthcare procedure. The idea is to ensure that the entire relationship between health care providers and patients is high-quality, leading to better health outcomes overall. You can learn more about Emancipet’s approach in our 2023 Impact Report. READ: https://bit.ly/3PjYiJc #SixDomainsofQualityHealthcare #ImpactReport

Professional Interventions for Child Survivors of Intrafamilial Child Torture For professionals working with child survivors of Intrafamilial Child Torture (ICT), it is crucial to employ evidence-based interventions that address the unique needs of these children. These needs span psychosocial, developmental, medical, and spiritual domains. More importantly, any treatment must begin with ensuring the child’s safety, as no intervention will be effective if the child remains in a harmful environment. Key interventions include Body-Based Trauma Treatment, Yoga Therapy, Theraplay, Attachment, Regulation, and Competency (ARC), Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT), Expressive Therapies, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Practical Steps for Professionals working with ICT survivors: 1. Ensure Safety First: Confirm that the child is in a safe environment before beginning any treatment. 2. Assess Individual Needs: Evaluate the child’s unique psychosocial, developmental, medical, and spiritual needs. 3. Implement Body-Based Interventions: Start with methods that address trauma’s physical impact. 4. Use Play and Expressive Therapies: Allow children to express themselves naturally and comfortably. 5. Promote Attachment and Regulation: Focus on building strong, healthy attachments and teaching emotional regulation. 6.

It's International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week! 🌍 Lead is a cumulative toxicant that affects multiple body systems and is particularly harmful to young children. There is no level of exposure to lead that is known to be without harmful effects. 🎨 The India-Lead Elimination Action Project (i-LEAP) is an initiative by the Pahle India Foundation aimed at addressing the critical issue of lead poisoning, which affects one in two children in India, leading to lifelong physical and mental health challenges. Under i-LEAP, the PIF team, guided by some of the nation's top public health and policy experts, is working to engage all relevant stakeholders to gain a deeper understanding of the problem, conduct necessary research, and formulate policy recommendations for the government 💪.

Today, on #WorldMentalHealthDay, let’s take a moment to reflect on the mental challenges we all face. While many of us can identify and heal our emotional pain, victims of human trafficking often cannot. They suffer in silence, unaware of their trauma and mental health needs. It’s time to raise awareness, extend support, and amplify the voices of those who need it the most. There is no health without mental health. Let's stand together for mental health and against human trafficking. 💚 #MentalHealthMatters #EndHumanTrafficking #SupportSurvivors #BreakTheSilence

🔍 Critical Perspective: Disability, Citizenship, and Systemic Barriers In response to the Prime Minister's International Day for Persons with Disability blog post, Satendra Singh, MD and Dr. VK Tiwari offer a powerful critique of how we conceptualize disability in India. Here are a few key insights from their The Indian Express piece: #1 Celebrating individual resilience is not enough. We must challenge the systemic "compulsory able-bodyism" that renders disability a conditional form of citizenship. #2 The current narrative of "crip nationalism" risks glorifying only a few privileged disabled individuals while overlooking the broader structural challenges of mass debilitation. #3 Our societal systems continue to define "normal" through an able-bodied lens, placing the burden of adaptation solely on persons with disabilities. This nuanced analysis calls for a deeper, more transformative approach to disability rights and inclusion.

I have often found clients questioning the act of self-prioritizing, reflecting on why they should change themselves, how being selfish or self-centred could change their lives, and if that’s the change, they don’t want to change. Often, they don’t know where to start, and even with an understanding and awareness of what self-prioritisation means, they struggle to get started. Understanding what it means to make yourself a priority—and what it doesn’t mean—can help you embrace this vital practice without guilt or hesitation. I write this article to help clarify the concept of ‘prioritizing yourself’, dispel common misconceptions, and provide practical steps to help you begin this transformative journey. https://lnkd.in/gXN7z-vC
