There’s a legacy of hesitancy centered in a shameful history of scientific misconduct which we need to understand & digest for successful implementation w/in #BIPOC communities. As a public health physician of color, I have an invested interest in this #ThisisOurShot #IGotTheShot

Mental Health Clinicians responding with paramedics reduced reports of targeted, less serious crimes (e.g., trespassing, public disorder, and resisting arrest) by 34% without use of criminalization tactics. #MentalHealth #ReImagine https://t.co/njEx51ZFDX

Let’s talk about mental health

[John Oliver @iamjohnoliver]

Here's our piece from last night about the state of our mental health care system...https://t.co/iByhp2LWi4

[American Psychiatric Association @APApsychiatric]

"Our primary care systems must urgently embrace a paradigm shift, accelerating the adoption of behavioral health integration (BHI) in physician practices and addressing this rampant increase in unmet (mental health and addiction) needs." https://t.co/c44SdPsLVj

[Mandrill Taylor, MD, MPH @Mandrill007]

Collecting & Integrating Social Determinants of Health data not only advances health equity but potentially could eliminate disparities w/in intersecting institutions as well - e.g., housing, criminal justice, etc. #medtwitter #housing #health https://t.co/PI0j9WPttj

Had a fantastic time celebrating #juneteenth2022 with Mayor Julie and the good people of Wilsonville #Juneteenth #juneteenthOR

Hope to see y'all tomorrow. Program begins at 10 am and includes remarks from the mayor, and a keynote address from Dr. Mandrill Taylor.

The neural, endocrine, immune & psychological effects of gratitude are robust & many. Contrary to popular belief, however, the vast majority of research shows that *receiving or observing* (rather than giving) gratitude is what induces these positive effects. #science

Strong work @DrKMSimon

[MayorWu @MayorWu]

@doctormaxine 100% agreement. The crisis is systemic. Shelters are but one of the necessary tools needed. Supportive housing, integrated health services, case management; understanding the components of a problem allows us to formulate solutions that will more likely sustain over time.

The President is announcing a national mental health strategy to strengthen system capacity, connect more Americans to care, and create a continuum of support

Violence breeds trauma. Fear triggers instinct. Tribalism harbors racism.

Supporting charitable orgs that acknowledge intersectionality as well as highlight the need for mental health services better ensures equitable care. https://t.co/lNXBk7TDmZ

Honored. Thank you

@mygfhasaniceass @IamTravisNelson Ensuring inclusive environments in our healthcare systems can lay the foundation for BIPOC Oregonians to consider a careers in healthcare in the future

[Mandrill Taylor, MD, MPH @Mandrill007]

@mygfhasaniceass @IamTravisNelson - Partner & compensate providers & orgs already providin quality culturally specific care
- Promote health awareness w/ community situated info sessions
- Advocate for the institution of health equity curriculum in premedical education

There’s literally dozens of opportunities

[Mandrill Taylor, MD, MPH @Mandrill007]

@IamTravisNelson Represent! Congratulations, Mr. Nelson!

[Mandrill Taylor, MD, MPH @Mandrill007]

@DrAyanaJordan People have disease. No one is a disease. Reducing someone to a caricature dehumanize their condition and circumstances, making them susceptible to discrimination and further despair

[Mandrill Taylor, MD, MPH @Mandrill007]

Ensuring quality improves health outcomes, and the needs of our BIPOC communities continue to be misunderstood. We can do better. Cultural contexts and expectations frame the clinical encounter for each and every patient. Let's ensure equitable care for all Oregonians. @OHAOregon

[Emily Green @GreenWrites]

Most Oregonians of color don’t rely on Anglo-centric providers for behavioral health care, according to a new report from @colorcoalition and @OHAOregon. They're more likely to opt for religious figures, traditional healers and other community-based orgs.
