Hey all - I am starting a weekly newsletter that will update folks on the latest science, current events, and yes, politics and policy of #mentalhealth. There's just so much to say that doesn't get said on the topic. Join the discussion here:

More than 90% of doctors say their patients have had to delay their health care because of prior authorization, according to a 2022 survey. A third of the doctors in that survey say the delay led to serious problems for their patients. https://t.co/UV5acZBy0N

If we can teach and learn financial literacy to help equip us for life. Why not mental health literacy. As Ben Miller states, it can be an effective way to prepare us for life, supporting others and ourselves. ⁦@miller7⁩ https://t.co/a1PRYN9C4p

There's a lot the @CUSystem @DeionSanders can teach the #mentalhealth field. We definitely have much to learn. But what if we applied some of Coach Prime's methods/leadership to our field? What could happen? My bet? A ton of change - all for the better. https://t.co/qPrSNwmiuQ

📰 Good news! Michigan House bill seeks insurance coverage for vital mental health treatments, breaking access barriers. This will ensure that mental health is treated as just that — health! https://t.co/kayH8EnJyt

In a world where constant distractions threaten to drown out the increasingly loud cries for help, ignoring people in crisis has become something seen all too often. Next time, instead of simply turning away, why not do something to help?

We have to begin to see mental health as a part of every program, every policy, and every investment. It’s not just up to the #mentalhealth field, or even those in #healthcare, it is much bigger than that. https://t.co/UASQZwpqsh

Love to see @GovernorShapiro leading the way for mental health in Pennsylvania! Conversations that include and uplift the communities they seek to serve are critical to the mental health space! 👏

[Ben Miller @miller7]

When you examine the historical context and current challenges surrounding #mentalhealth and compare it public health, it becomes evident that underinvestment in effective community-based solutions has hindered progress in improving access to quality care

https://t.co/qicGlcATpT

[Ben Miller @miller7]

The evidence is clear - when we treat #mentalhealth and addiction together, people get better. Our challenge is that our systems are set up to treat the pieces not the whole. Seems like this needs to change.

What does the Matrix, AI, and #mentalhealth have in common? Some ideas: https://t.co/VBS4ISOD8e

The notion that art can improve #mentalhealth/well-being is something many people intuitively understand but can lose sight of - especially if we have become disconnected from the dancing, creative writing, drawing and singing we used to enjoy as children https://t.co/ZPHFEJciZv

Hugely important guidance out today from @CMSGov on school based services, including #mentalhealth. It's a lot to review, but extremely helpful for those on the front lines trying to help our kids. https://t.co/8rlNdIcAzS

People experiencing homelessness in #NewJersey will now have easier access to #mentalhealth services. Gov. Murphy signed a law that allows mental health professionals to provide care at shelters. It removes red tape that kept this from happening.
