California Legislature Approves Sen. Skinner's Bill to Protect Youth from Social Media Addiction: https://lnkd.in/gX-n_6AA Thank you Senator Nancy Skinner for creating SB 976 - The Protecting Our Kids from Social Media Addiction Act (sponsored by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and others). “Social media companies have designed their platforms to addict users, especially our kids. Studies show that once a young person has a social media addiction, they experience higher rates of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and suicide. But social media companies have been unwilling to voluntarily change their practices,” Sen. Skinner said. “With the passage of SB 976, the California Legislature has sent a clear message: When social media companies won’t act, it’s our responsibility to protect our kids.” Parents in California (like myself) now turn to Governor Gavin Newsom to put children above #BigTech profits and support SB 976.

There has been a lot of talk about the behavioral health workforce crisis in the United States. We have too many helpers leaving the field and not enough entering it. The reality is that the business model for providing mental health care in the US has never worked. We wade through inequitable barriers in schooling/licensure exams, unpaid internships, low insurance reimbursement rates, impossible insurance paneling processes, and external pressures to serve more clients than is ethical or sustainable. The stories the Kaiser employees share sounds so familiar to the stories I hold onto in Ohio - back to back clients, unfilled positions, concerns about low quality of care, low wages causing economic stressors. And while there have been some state efforts to temporarily remove barriers to more folks entering the field, very little has been done to address supporting those already in the field. I don't have the answers for addressing the violence and inefficiencies of our private healthcare system. But I do support any helpers and healers who are willing to stand up and say we need a new economic model for mental health care in America. It's past time to work together and get creative.

San Diego - Do you know any available caregivers? (SIGNAL BOOST) Rifka's friend wrote the below to help in her search for staff to assist her: "Rifka ([email protected]) needs help with many errands and going out with her means speaking for her, standing up for her about misgendering, navigation, and general help. Other errands usually consist of going to the store, picking up prescriptions, or picking up food. Another part of the job is making calls for her (lawyer, Honda, medical, etc.) and taking note of the details and what to do from there. A daily task list might include: (from most to least urgent) Clean CPAP, brush hair, wash/shave face, take out trash, wash dishes, laundry, assist with bathing, water plants, empty dehumidifier, clean coffee maker, clean surfaces, check if air fryer/oven is clean…etc If you or someone you know is working for similar work, please consider reaching out to Rifka at the email above. Thank you for reading!" - (I am leveraging my network and boosting the signal for a fellow Neurodivergent human in need. Any questions/inquiries should be directed to the email above. I do not personally or professionally know the individuals involved and would encourage any applicants to do their due diligence before considering employment with anyone.)
