Psychosocial issues and Psychiatric Social Work Interventions insojan47
This document discusses psychosocial issues faced by those with mental illness and the role of psychiatric social work interventions. It outlines that mental illness affects appearance, behavior, thinking, and feelings as well as personal and social life. Common psychosocial issues include difficulties with thoughts/emotions, perception/judgment, communication, decision-making, relationships, and socio-occupational functioning. Psychiatric social work aims to promote social functioning and well-being through individual/family counseling, group work, community interventions, and using tools like interviews and relationships to provide services like assessment, psychoeducation, skills training, and facilitating welfare schemes. The conclusion states that social workers are essential to the psychiatric care team to accelerate recovery and rehabilitation for those with mental illness

This document discusses the intersection of mental illness and interpersonal violence experienced by women. It notes that many women with mental illness have histories of abuse, especially childhood sexual assault. However, mental health services often ignore trauma experiences due to narrow views of the causes of mental illness. Similarly, domestic violence and sexual assault services may exclude women with mental illness due to misconceptions. The document calls for trauma-informed approaches across services and increased collaboration to better support women experiencing both mental health issues and gender-based violence.
This study explored the health perceptions of 19 female survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) who were receiving services at two domestic violence shelters. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants ranging from 30-90 minutes. The interviews were analyzed and coded to identify themes. The main themes that emerged were: 1) The complexity of moving forward from abuse and understanding its deep impacts, 2) Unaddressed mental health issues, lack of support, and barriers like fear, finances, and lack of awareness of resources, 3) Disrupted daily routines, lack of stability, and difficulty establishing healthy habits, and 4) Both positive and negative coping strategies utilized to deal with the effects of IPV. The study provides insight into the multifaceted
The document discusses the roles and functions of various members of the mental health team, including psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, clinical psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, counselors, and pharmacists. It also outlines the scope of practice for psychiatric nurses in different settings such as inpatient wards, outpatient clinics, psychotherapy units, and in the community. The functions of nurses are described for various treatment settings and include tasks such as assessment, medication management, psychotherapy, counseling, and providing education and support.

The document proposes a series of seminars and workshops for women experiencing transitional periods in midlife. It focuses on topics like family changes, career transitions, health issues, and aging parents. Needs assessments found that women were most interested in presentations on financial security, health, and retirement. The proposed workshops would provide direct education and counseling on identifying financial needs, options, and resources as well as implementing a financial plan. They would utilize presentations, breakout groups, and information booths to both directly and indirectly counsel participants.
This document discusses how primary health care reform in Canada needs to consider women's perspectives and needs. It notes that women are the majority of both health care users and providers. It outlines several key issues for women, including that women use health services more than men due to reproductive health needs and longer lifespans leading to more chronic illness. Women also provide most unpaid caregiving. The document argues that reforms need to recognize differences among women and provide a variety of options to meet all women's needs. It analyzes some common reform strategies and notes both potential benefits and risks to ensuring reforms actually improve care for all women.
This document discusses mental health and provides information on several related topics:
1. It defines mental health as a state of well-being where one can cope with stress and realize their abilities.
2. Several factors are discussed that affect mental health prevalence including treatment gaps, stigma, and epidemiological transitions.
3. Statistics on the prevalence of various mental disorders globally and in India are provided, showing a large proportion of populations affected. However, treatment gaps remain high.
This document provides an overview of community psychiatry and the roles of nurses in community mental health services in Zambia. It defines key terms in community psychiatry like institutionalism, deinstitutionalization, and levels of prevention. It describes the introduction of community mental health services in Zambia in the 1970s with the roles of community health workers. It outlines the current community services provided and the levels of intervention as mental health promotion, primary prevention through education, secondary prevention through treatment, and tertiary prevention through rehabilitation. Finally, it lists the various roles of nurses in delivering community mental health services.
The document discusses prevention of mental illness. It notes that about 450 million people suffer from mental disorders globally. It defines different levels of prevention as universal, selective, and indicated. Universal prevention targets the whole population. Selective targets groups at higher risk, while indicated targets those at high risk of mental illness. The strategies proposed for prevention include community education, early intervention services, developing community resources, improving accessibility and cultural sensitivity, and enhancing protective factors in the environment. The overall aim is to reduce incidence, prevalence, and recurrence of mental disorders through evidence-based interventions.
This is a presentation that I give to medical professionals educating them on the role and potential use of social work in the hospital setting. I presented this on May 22, 2009 to the Trauma Education & Research Committee.
This document outlines models of preventive psychiatry, including Caplan's model of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. Primary prevention aims to reduce incidence of mental illness through programs targeting at-risk groups. Secondary prevention focuses on early identification and treatment of symptoms to reduce duration and prevalence of illness. Tertiary prevention aims to reduce impairments through rehabilitation services and promotion of maximum functioning. The levels of prevention target individuals and environments to promote mental health.
The document discusses moral distress experienced by nurses. Moral distress occurs when a nurse knows the right course of action but is unable to take it due to obstacles. This causes psychological imbalance and physical/emotional symptoms. It differs from burnout, jading, grief, and compassion fatigue. Moral distress stems from institutional, resource, legal, and policy constraints. It leads to implications like lack of empowerment, job dissatisfaction, and high turnover. Preventing moral distress involves educational, communicative, and organizational strategies like ethical training and committees, improved communication, and increased support/resources for nurses.
Psychological adaptation to the stress of physical illness, psychosocial assessment factors: social history, level of stress, normal coping pattern, neurovegative changes, patients understanding of illness, mental status, personality style and major issues of illness, psychosocial assessment as the basis of the nursing process and the essential nursing role in the psychosocial assessment.
The document discusses mental health and personal wellbeing. It defines mental health as maintaining daily activities, relationships, and ability to cope with stress. Personal wellbeing involves feeling healthy and comfortable through healthy lifestyle, identity, and relationships. The document notes that around 150 million Indians need mental health care but there is a large treatment gap due to stigma, lack of services, and professionals. It outlines the history of mental health initiatives and legislation in India, including the recent Mental Healthcare Act of 2017. The document emphasizes the importance of self-care activities like relaxing, exercise, healthy eating, sleep, and social connections for improving mental health and wellbeing.
Are you drinking TOO much?
Alcohol is the most commonly used potentially addictive substance in our society. Alcohol is responsible for over half of the $267 million dollars of substance related hospital costs in Canada. Problematic alcohol use significantly impacts individuals, families, and our community, but many struggle to know if they have a problem and where to go for help.

1) Mental illness is a widespread problem affecting approximately 10% of the population globally. It includes a wide spectrum of disorders from minor neuroses to major psychoses like schizophrenia.
2) Mental illness has multifactorial causes including genetic, organic, psychosocial, and environmental factors. Early diagnosis and treatment as well as rehabilitation services are important for management.
3) Substance abuse disorders like alcohol and drug dependence present a major public health challenge. Prevention through education, legislation, and community programs as well as treatment involving detoxification and rehabilitation are essential strategies to address this problem.
Community mental health involves promoting mental well-being and preventing mental illness at a community level. Community mental health nursing aims to maintain and improve mental health through populations and communities. It also aims to rehabilitate those with ongoing mental illness effects. Some innovative community mental health programs in India include crash programs introduced at NIMHANS in Bengaluru that utilize primary health centers, schools, home visits, satellite clinics, and training of workers to expand mental healthcare.

This document discusses domestic violence and its relationship to mental health. It notes that domestic violence is associated with an increased risk of various mental disorders in both men and women. Experiencing domestic violence is also linked to poorer mental health outcomes. While the causal relationship is complex, domestic violence appears to increase the severity of mental health symptoms. The document then reviews prevalence rates of domestic violence among mental health patients and barriers to disclosure. It concludes by discussing interventions for domestic violence survivors with mental illness, including trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and advocacy services integrated within mental health teams.
The document provides instructions from a professor to a student. It asks the student to edit slides as needed and let the professor know if a different format is preferred. It also informs the student that the professor will be traveling this weekend to visit their father-in-law in the hospital. If the professor does not return in time, the student is asked to meet at another time. The professor will be in class on Wednesday by 5pm to get the presentation ready and will print handouts for the class. The student is asked to let the professor know if anything else is needed.
Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) focuses on solutions rather than problems, offers a connection between strategic and language theories, and emphasizes clients having clear goals. SFT was co-developed by Steve deShaver and Insoo Berg based on research from the Brief Therapy Center. It utilizes a positive, optimistic approach by discussing non-issue topics initially and avoiding confrontation, then asking questions to identify exceptions to the problem.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for depression that focuses on changing negative patterns of thought and behavior. At the core of CBT is the idea that a person's thoughts directly influence their mood and behavior, rather than external factors. The main goals of CBT are to help patients identify negative automatic thoughts, evaluate if they are valid, and replace them with more balanced perspectives. Therapists use techniques like cognitive restructuring and behavioral activation to help patients develop healthier thought patterns and engage in meaningful activities. CBT is a time-limited, goal-oriented approach involving active participation from patients.
The document discusses post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and issues facing military veterans post-deployment. It describes the three main symptoms of PTSD as hyperarousal, re-experiencing trauma through flashbacks or nightmares, and avoidance/numbing. With sustained exposure to daily trauma over multiple deployments, the development of PTSD is inevitable. The document also outlines the physiological and psychological effects of PTSD and discusses challenges veterans may face reintegrating into civilian life like relationship issues, dangerous behaviors, and substance abuse. Effective treatment involves psychoeducation, teaching coping strategies, and gradually retelling traumatic experiences.
Domestic violence involves physical, psychological, and sexual abuse in intimate relationships aimed at establishing control over the victim. It is not a single incident, but rather a pattern of behavior over time. Victims can be of any gender, age, social class, or occupation. Psychological abuse, such as threats and isolation, is often the most hurtful type. Domestic violence has serious short- and long-term health impacts for victims and their children. It is a major public safety issue that accounts for a large percentage of police calls. Addressing the underlying causes and helping victims escape the cycle of violence are crucial to reducing its harms.
Cognitive behavior therapy theory and practiceWuzna Haroon
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was developed in the 1960s by Aaron Beck based on his research challenging the psychoanalytic view of depression. Beck observed that depressed clients had negative biases in interpreting events that contributed to cognitive distortions. He developed CBT which focuses on identifying and modifying dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs. The key assumptions of CBT are that cognitions influence behaviors and emotions, and that maladaptive thinking can be identified and changed. Common techniques include cognitive restructuring to challenge irrational thoughts, behavioral experiments, and homework assignments.
1) Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is caused by exposure to highly stressful or dangerous events and symptoms must last over a month.
2) It has been referred to by different names in different eras reflecting traumatic events of those times like shell shock or combat stress syndrome.
3) PTSD is associated with changes in neurobiology including increased noradrenergic activity and alterations in the hippocampus and amygdala.
4) Symptoms include re-experiencing the traumatic event, avoidance of trauma-related stimuli, and increased arousal and anxiety.
The document provides an agenda for a training session on anxiety, trauma, and stress for practitioners working with clients with co-occurring disorders. The agenda includes: a check-in, a review of a stress video and discussion, a presentation on signs and symptoms of anxiety disorders and how stress relates, a discussion on trauma experienced by clients and practitioners, a preview of the next session, and a question period. The document also includes supplementary materials on anxiety disorders, trauma-informed practices, secondary trauma, and self-care strategies.

Specialist Mental Health and Women’s HealthWorking In Partnership To Better Address the Intersection(s) of Mental Health and Violence and Abuse. Women’s Health Statewide Zhila Javidi, Centre for Anxiety and Related Disorders
This document discusses prevention and early detection of mental disorders in the community. It defines mental health and well-being and outlines primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. Primary prevention aims to prevent onset of mental illness through initiatives that address risk factors. Secondary prevention uses early intervention to lower severity and duration of illness. Tertiary prevention focuses on rehabilitation and relapse prevention to reduce long-term impacts. The document promotes building supportive environments and personal skills to enhance mental health. Early influences, adolescence, and early signs of mental disorders are discussed. Ways to help oneself and others through treatment, recovery, and peer support are also presented.
Mental health and psychosocial disorders are pervasive throughout the business world. Leadership needs to understand the cost benefits of incorporating these issues into existing safety and health management systems to improve the livelihoods of bot workers and their families. By improving policy, programs and procedures, everyone benefits from a better working environment, climate and culture.
This document explores the relationship between emotional well-being and mental health. It defines key terms like emotional well-being, mental health, and their components. Factors like biology, environment, and psychology influence both constructs. High emotional well-being is linked to reduced mental health issues and increased quality of life. The document recommends strategies like education, early intervention, community support, and ensuring access to resources to improve emotional well-being and mental health.
Mental health at workplace and stress management.pdfssuser94ea49
Workplace wellness starts with mental health. The document discusses mental health and stress management. It defines mental health as a state of well-being that allows people to cope with life's stresses and contribute to their community. Stress is explained as the body's reaction to pressure or demands from stressors. While stress is not itself a mental health problem, experiencing chronic stress can increase the risk of developing issues like depression or anxiety. The document provides information on identifying and managing stress and mental health problems.
Social diagnosis is an important part of mental health assessment and treatment planning. It involves understanding an individual's social situation, personality, environmental factors, and social determinants of mental health. A social diagnosis allows for a holistic view of a person within their cultural and social context. It helps professionals identify stressors, develop culturally sensitive care, implement early interventions, recognize social support systems, and create tailored treatment plans. A social diagnosis also informs advocacy and policy by emphasizing the broader societal influences on mental well-being.
This document summarizes strategies that workplaces can implement to support the mental health and wellbeing of employees, with a focus on anaesthetists. It discusses how work can impact mental health and identifies anaesthetists as being at high risk of suicide. Barriers to help-seeking are outlined. The document then covers approaches workplaces can take, including promoting mental health, preventing issues, early intervention, and supporting recovery. Specific strategies are provided, like developing policies, creating supportive environments, and building resilience in employees from students to experienced practitioners. Factors for successful workplace mental health programs are also presented.
Brain Injury and Mental Illness: Symptom OverlapJulie Fronk
On June 28, 2016, Amy Daniel from Bridges: Northern Kentucky Brain Injury Support Group spoke about the relationship between Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and mental disorders. TBI can lead to mood, personality and behavioral changes. Individuals suffering from TBI are also at a higher risk of experiencing psychiatric problems such as depression and anxiety and are at a higher risk of inflicting acts of violence, abuse and neglect. Unfortunately, mental health intervention is often lacking in long-term treatment for TBI and vice versa.
To combat this problem, Bridges and NAMI NKY (National Alliance on Mental Illness) advocate an understanding that TBI is serious. Diagnosis and determination of medical treatment should include psychiatric evaluation. Follow through and follow up of treatment is also vital.
For more information about TBI and Bridges, visit http://www.bridgesnky.org/.
The document discusses the history and philosophy of community mental health and deinstitutionalization. It describes how mental health treatment has shifted from institutions to community-based care and prevention since the 1960s with the Community Mental Health Centers Act. The document then outlines various roles, interventions, and approaches used in community mental health, such as prevention, early intervention, family support, rehabilitation, and addressing mental health issues across the lifespan from children to older adults.
This document discusses mental health, mental illness, and systemic solutions in the workplace. It defines mental health as a state of well-being that allows people to cope with stress and function well. Mental illness is a diagnosable disorder that impacts how one feels, thinks and acts. Common causes include genetics, trauma and stress. The document then outlines some ways companies are working to improve mental health through focusing on culture, benefits, policies, environment, outcomes measurements and innovation. It provides local resources for mental health support.
Mental health refers to the state of an individual's emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It encompasses a person's ability to cope with stress, manage their emotions, maintain fulfilling relationships, and make sound decisions. Good mental health is essential for overall well-being and quality of life, as it contributes to a positive outlook, resilience in the face of challenges, and the capacity to lead a fulfilling and productive life. It's important to recognize that mental health exists on a continuum, and individuals may experience fluctuations in their mental well-being throughout their lives. Promoting mental health involves fostering a supportive environment, reducing stigma, and ensuring access to appropriate care and resources for those who may be facing mental health challenges.
Health care encompasses a broad range of services and resources aimed at maintaining, restoring, or improving an individual's physical, mental, and emotional health. It includes preventive measures, diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing support to address various health concerns. Health care services are provided by a diverse group of professionals, including doctors, nurses, therapists, and counselors, who work together to promote well-being and address medical conditions. Access to quality health care is essential for preventing illness, managing chronic conditions, and addressing acute health issues. It also includes mental health care services, emphasizing the importance of addressing both physical and mental well-being to achieve holistic health.
Understanding Mental Health and its impact on relationships.pdfKutlwano Mnisi
Often we find it difficult to manage or mantain relationships where mental health is involved. We struggle to understand signs and symptoms of mental health and often use ineffective coping mechanisms in the relationship which may often exacerbate conflict and in turn increase negative behaviours within the relationship. It is important to understand mental health and learn ways to manage it in your relationship
Mental health promotion, prevention & wellbeing_Lecture 1.pptxVarunMehta96
This document discusses definitions of mental health, mental health promotion, and wellbeing. It defines mental health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing according to the WHO. New concepts that have emerged include positive mental health, resilience, mental wellbeing, and mental illness/disorders. Mental health promotion focuses on preventing mental illness through reducing risk factors and promoting protective factors. The document also notes that Jharkhand spends only 0.13% on mental health financing and has a low number of trained medical officers providing mental health services.
The document discusses concepts and interventions for promoting mental health. It defines mental health promotion as focusing on enabling positive mental health at the population level by building competencies, resources, and strengths. The need for mental health promotion is explained by its role in prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. Effective implementation requires sound theory, training, evaluation, and fidelity across settings. Proven interventions discussed include life stage interventions, community interventions, resilience training, and the Triple P positive parenting program.
The document discusses wellness counseling and different models used in counseling clients. It summarizes Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model and Sweeney/Myers' indivisible self model for understanding clients in relation to others, their community, and social context rather than primarily as individuals with pathologies. A hypothetical wellness intervention example is provided that targets physical health to improve overall wellness by targeting exercise, nutrition, and sleep to positively impact emotional, intellectual, and other areas of wellness.

4.8.2 AWHN Conference 6 2010 Theatrette Wool Store:IMPROVING WOMEN’S ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESTHE INNOVATIVE ROLE OF THE WOMEN’S HEALTH NURSE PRACTITIONER
- Internet and mobile phone usage among Australian children has increased dramatically from 1998-2009, with over 70% of households having internet access by 2009 and 31% of children aged 5-14 having their own mobile phone.
- Cyberbullying is defined as "deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group intended to harm others" through digital technologies.
- The objective of the health promotion project was to create a media package to educate young women on safe usage of emerging technologies and prevent cyberbullying, through establishing an advisory group of Year 9 students over 10 weeks.
This document outlines three presentations on media and violence taking place at Concurrent Session 4. The first presentation analyzes print media reporting on deaths related to domestic violence. The second examines the impact of sexualized media images on the mental health of aging women. The third discusses being savvy when interacting online.
The document discusses the enhanced role of women's health nurse practitioners Lorna Scott and Carolyn Enks in rural Australia. It provides background on their roles since 1986/1991 and authorization as nurse practitioners in 2001/2005. The nurse practitioners see over 1,000 rural women annually based on guidelines for common women's health issues. Between 2008-2009, clinic visits increased by 20% while management based on nurse practitioner guidelines increased by 30%. The conclusion states that the extended practice of nurse practitioners improves primary health care outcomes for rural women.
This document summarizes community health initiatives in 5 South Australian communities aimed at empowering women. It discusses how local consultation and partnerships were used to identify priorities and develop action plans. Some key initiatives discussed include an enrolled nursing cadetship program in Riverland, a women's coordinator and sewing group on Yorke Peninsula, and establishing a women's place in Oak Valley. It also describes a well women's health program developed in Coober Pedy that provided holistic health services and screenings. The conclusion emphasizes that the programs were locally led, built community empowerment and resilience, and involved cross-sector partnerships.
This document summarizes a presentation on a program called Sustainable Farm Families (SFF) that aims to improve the health and wellbeing of farming families, including women. The SFF program delivers health education directly to farms and recognizes that health is influenced by where people live and work. Evaluation found that over two years, the program helped reduce several health risk factors among participating women, including BMI, cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure. Women reported improved empowerment and the majority felt the program was valuable in addressing priorities like farm safety, fitness, stress management, and health follow-up. The results suggest the SFF program is an effective way to engage farming families and communities in improving health.
This document discusses the isolation experienced by rural lesbians and ways to respond to their needs. It notes that over 1/3 of Australians view lesbianism negatively. For rural lesbians, the closet provides protection from prejudice but also isolation. Individual isolation is exacerbated by stigma, fear of discovery, and reduced support. Health practitioners should recognize lesbianism as a culture and institutions should treat all couples equally. The document calls for responses to address the isolation of rural lesbians.
This document outlines the schedule for Concurrent Session 4.5 of a conference on rural issues and approaches. The session is chaired by Patty Kinnersly and consists of 6 presentations on topics related to women's health in rural communities, including the health needs of refugee women, the isolation of rural lesbians, health and safety issues for farm women, stories of Aboriginal women in remote areas, enhancing roles to improve outcomes for rural women, and a gender-based service from the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
low birth weight presentation. Low birth weight (LBW) infant is defined as the one whose birth weight is less than 2500g irrespective of their gestational age.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

This slide appeals to my sense of humour and captures the wisdom inherent in feminism and other social justice movements, that our mental health and mental illness is strongly tied to the realities of our lives, and that our response is not necessarily a crazy response, but possibly a sane response to a crazy, untenable situation
In keeping with this,
Historically, much of the counselling work undertaken at WHS has revolved around women whose well-being has been adversely affected by violence and abuse, often in childhood.
Our approach has emphasised the importance of the quality of the therapeutic relationship, a social view of health and mental health and an understanding of the effects of violence and abuse on women’s mental health and wellbeing, mental health service utilisation and the client-practitioner relationship.
This framework provides many skills enabling the validation of women’s experience, of course you’d be dissociating, of course you’d be anxious having being through these things, anxiety, depression and complex trauma are common effects of having been subjected to violence and abuse, and sometimes this would be enough - but in my experience we didn’t always have the specialist tools and knowledge to support women to manage the actual disabling symptoms of anxiety or depression.
