The document summarizes challenges and opportunities in substance abuse and mental health prevention. It discusses how health reform aims to expand access to care through Medicaid expansion and insurance exchanges. This will provide opportunities to integrate behavioral health prevention and treatment into primary care. The document also outlines SAMHSA's strategic initiatives to focus on prevention, trauma, military families, recovery support, and using data and health IT to drive performance and outcomes.
These slides are from on lecture on the role of psychotropic drugs in mental health treatment. Topics covered include the pharmaceutical industry, direct-to-consumer advertising, the CATIE and STAR*D studies, Medicare Part-D, and the role or pharmacy benefit managers.

Integrating Behavioral Health into Primary Care – Thought Leaders in Populati...Epstein Becker Green
Although mental health and substance abuse (behavioral health) services have historically been segregated from traditional medical care, its impact on patients’ well-being, physical health and cost-of-care has become increasingly critical to improving clinical quality outcomes while significantly decreasing financial costs by tens of billions of dollars. Drs. Daviss and Coleman will discuss the advances in policy and practice regarding the integration of behavioral health with physical health, as well as some of the gaps in identifying, aggregating, and analyzing data critical to a more holistic and comprehensive view of the individual.
In addition, the speakers will:
* Identify the clinical, legal, social, and financial impacts of behavioral health disorders on chronic medical conditions.
* Describe the challenges involved in improving clinical and financial outcomes in patients with chronic medical conditions who also have behavioral health symptoms and/or conditions.
* Demonstrate the rewards for implementing new information technology applications and analysis for better clinical and financial outcomes for these specific populations.

Psychological Illness and Crime Growing in Urban life by Dr.Mahboob Khan PhdHealthcare consultant
“I believe that -Weather it is MH 370 Co-Pilot or recent thane mass murderer these people have some sort of psychological illness in common and there is greater need to do psychological assessment of every one as a mandatory test”.Public opinion surveys suggest that many people think mental illness and violence go hand in hand. A 2012 national survey found, for example, that 60% of indians thought that people with schizophrenia were likely to act violently toward someone else, while 32% thought that people with major depression were likely to do so.

Although not a replacement to traditional treatment or counseling, web-based programs are proving to be an innovative and powerful approach to effectively reach those with addiction and mental health issues. A cost benefit analysis and overview of this trend as well as peer reviewed studies will be discussed.
Learning Objectives
- To provide current trends and research regarding online programs
- To explore ways of integrating online modalities with existing resources
- To discuss the advantages and limitations of web based programs
This presentation about ‘Valuing Mental Health’ by Dr Geraldine Strathdee, National Clinical Director of Mental Health, NHS England, was delivered to the Foundation Trust Network on 16 October 2013.
Geraldine covers:
- Why does the NHS need to value mental health: The impact of mental health on outcomes and costs
- Parity between mental health and physical health: What would it mean in practice
- Fast tracking Value in the NHS: What role can the Foundation Trust Network have in delivering it?
Truth, Desire, and Habit: Animating Community as Medicine.
How often have we heard doctors deliver behavior change instructions (“Eat better! Exercise more! Reduce your stress!”) followed by something like “Good luck with that! I’ll see you in 6 months?”
For our patients who lack access to the boutique ($$) wellness industry, these kinds of “Behavioral Prescriptions” are a prescription to nowhere.
Open Source Wellness (OSW) is the nation’s first “Behavioral Pharmacy:” a democratized delivery system for the universal and trans-diagnostic behaviors and experiences that potentiate human health and wellbeing. The model leverages the power of community to animate a very simple platform: MOVE (physical activity), NOURISH (healthy meals,) CONNECT (social support), and BE (stress reduction). Adaptable to diverse populations, OSW addresses the behaviorally- and socially-mediated conditions that are driving human suffering and astronomical healthcare spending by animating clinical, community, housing, and corporate contexts as platforms for health and wellbeing.
Join us for an experience (80% direct engagement, 20% keynote on methodology and outcomes) of the OSW Truth, Desire, and Habit human technologies, and leave ready to creatively apply the active ingredients of this model to your work your world!

The National Council has played a leading role in advocating for policies and practices that break down barriers to integration and collaboration, developing clinical and business models that support seamless and comprehensive healthcare, and fostering collaborative opportunities. Advocating for funds to bring primary care services to behavioral health organizations has been a National Council legislative priority. We've also been active on the practice improvement front and have helped member organizations and their primary care partners overcome clinical, cultural, and communication barriers to collaboratively provide comprehensive healthcare.
Why do some individuals develop addictive disorders while others don’t? The relationship between trauma and addiction can provide valuable insight. The adverse childhood experiences (ACES) study helped define and shape our understanding of this complex issue and research demonstrates that higher ACE scores are linked with higher rates of future substance use. It is critical that the health care workforce understand the impact of trauma on addiction and how this relationship impacts treatment and recovery. Explore what it means to be trauma-informed and how providers can integrate trauma-informed care into recovery services and other work with individuals who experience addictive disorders.

For the Research Assignment, I have chosen to focus on an area of Healthcare that rarely gets the
attention it deserves.
Mental health.
I
chose this topic because I am personally effected by it and so are many millions of Americans. Mental illness is also one of the leading causes of
death in our nation and one life is lost as a result of suicide, abuse or incarceration every 17mins in the United States. Mental illness has been my
area of focus throughout this program and the advocacy and participatory philosophy will be useful for the final project because it suggests that
“
that research inquiry needs to be intertwined with politics and a political agenda” (Creswell, p.9). I do believe that mental health has a specific
agenda for a study and that there has been constant aim for reform in healthcare and mental health. This social issue is definitely pertinent right
now and topics that address it such as “empowerment, inequality, oppression, domination, suppression, and alienation” (Creswell, p.9), and are
really the focus of the study. The goal of this project for me, is to provide a voice to participants and give them the ability address the concerns that
will lead to reform.
According to Kemmis and Wilkinson (1998) this philosophy offers four key features of the advocacy/participatory framework of inquiry:
1. Participatory actions are focused on bringing about change, and at the end of this type of study, researchers create an action agenda for change.
2. It is focused on freeing individuals from societal constraints, which is why the study begins with an important issue currently in society.
3. It aims to create a political debate so that change will occur.
4. Since advocacy/participatory researchers engage participants as active contributors to the research, it is a collaborative experience.
Research Problem Statement
My Vision is to Provide members of the community with the opportunities and education needed to prevent death due to suicide, acts of self-harm
and the traumatic impact of mental illness. By promoting resilience, the enhancement of community resources, conflict resolution and support for
individuals, families and the communities of those who suffer with mental disorders, illness or have a sudden mental health crisis. The target
population includes all individuals within Chatham County, with unmet mental health needs.
These individuals are currently not being served by
traditional methods due to financial, structural, and personal barriers including access and stigma. Untreated mental health
issues of these
individuals put them at risk for exacerbation of physical health problems, suicide attempts, premature moves to long-term care settings, and
psychiatric hospitalization, incarceration, residential alcohol/drug treatment or homelessness. The target population is all individuals within
