A New York free of child poverty would mean more families are able to provide the things every parent wants for their children: nourishing meals, safe and stable housing, consistent health care, and opportunities to play sports and participate in the arts. We could break cycles of generational hardship, creating pathways to lasting success and stability. If we eliminated child poverty, New York’s children would be healthier, safer, and more likely to thrive as they enter adulthood. Where will New York be in 2032, the finish line set by our leaders for cutting the state’s child poverty rate in half? We find ourselves reflecting on this question not just as doctors but as a father and a grandmother, respectively. Regardless of our occupation or our political persuasion, we should all agree that failure to protect our children dims the future for everyone. New York ought to lead the way toward a brighter tomorrow, starting with halving child poverty and ultimately eliminating it altogether. https://lnkd.in/eY5sV2uh

Webinar 1: Addressing Public Misperceptions about Palliative Care Monday, May 20, 2024, 12p to 1p ET. The first webinar in the series will discuss public perceptions of palliative care. Evidence shows that earlier access to palliative care improves patient and family outcomes, yet misperceptions serve as barriers to access to palliative care earlier in the course of serious illness. Research reveals that once palliative care is introduced in a way that matches people’s aspirations and needs, they are more likely to choose palliative care. Speakers: Anthony Back, MD, University of Washington Marian Grant, DNP, Marketing Consultant Diane Meier, MD, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Register here: https://bit.ly/3UHJ3vK

“The benefit of treating concurrent disorders at the same time is that it allows patients to better understand how their mental health and substance use intersect and influence each other. This concurrent approach is shown to improve patient outcomes, and gives patients a toolbox of coping strategies that best align with their needs.” When you have both a substance use problem and a mental health issue such as depression, bipolar disorder, or anxiety, it is called a co-occurring disorder or dual diagnosis. But fragmented and hard-to-access mental health care means that these conditions and addiction often go untreated. In some communities, it is easier to get illicit drugs than adequate mental health care, making co-occurring addiction and other mental illness more likely. People with a mental illness are twice as likely to have a substance use disorder compared to the general population. Why is it that there are still so few programs that tackle both mental health and substance use health issues? Individuals should not have to go to private treatment and pay $1,000 a day to receive what is considered to be the standard in concurrent disorder therapy. Integrating mental health treatment into addiction programs offers more comprehensive support, often helping to address the root causes of substance use and better supporting long-term recovery. At Coast Mental Health we recognize this. Our Rehabilitation and Recovery program offers mental health supports from counsellors and where appropriate psychiatrists, but it also integrates important programs like cognitive remediation (or Brain Training), a therapy focused on improving cognitive functions like memory, attention, and problem-solving. #mentalillness #concurrentdisorders #treatment #addiction #mentalhealth

The length of time to death for most patients once they are comatose or barely rousable is 2 days. However, this study highlights the importance of clinicians acknowledging and conveying uncertainty in prognostic accuracy. #hpm #hapc #palliativecare https://buff.ly/3WXQzoV
