Crisis Services:Effectiveness, Cost-Effectiveness, and Funding Strategies by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Pdf

Crisis Services are a continuum of services that are provided to individuals experiencing a psychiatric emergency. The primary goal of these services is to stabilize and improve psychological symptoms of distress and to engage individuals in an appropriate treatment service to address the problem that led to the crisis. Core crisis services include: 23-hour crisis stabilization/observation beds, short term crisis residential services and crisis stabilization, mobile crisis services, 24/7 crisis hotlines, warm lines, psychiatric advance directive statements, and peer crisis services. The research base on the effectiveness of crisis services is growing. There is evidence that crisis stabilization, community-based residential crisis care, and mobile crisis services can divert individuals from unnecessary hospitalizations and ensure the least restrictive treatment option is available to people experiencing behavioral health crises.

Happiness in Action by Aaron Chen,Jason Hendrawan Pdf

At one point or another, every single one of us has or will have confronted the question: “So, what’s the purpose of my doing?” Writing in the perspective of high-school students, who have many years of untapped opportunities ahead of us, we think that starting to ask ourselves this question is of utmost importance. Now, there are many answers to this question, perhaps an infinite number of them. But in this short book, we propose the simple answer: to be happy. Of course, we aren’t the first to jump aboard this train of thought. Humanity has thought about happiness as an integral goal of life for thousands of years, and individuals and institutions alike have continued to pursue this discussion today, whether that be through debate, research, or policies. And to this, we are thankful. Our predecessors’ efforts have provided us -the next generation- with ample resources to put the pursuit of happiness into action on a societal scale, should we choose to do so. In light of this very mission to continue the historical momentum, we present this little book of ours -- to our peers, to aspiring young leaders of the future who might wish to consider prospects of a happiness-oriented society, and to any reader interested in this quick read.

Changing Times by Frank Mielke,Charles Kocher Pdf

Many times, the police are the first to respond to an individual in crisis; even those involving mentally ill. While we see evidence of positive change, there are still shortcomings when it comes to criminal justice response in the behavioral health system. There is a lack of access, availability, continuity, coordination, and responsiveness. But we see accomplishments to changes in attitudes and behaviors, through such programs like Crisis Intervention Specialist Training, CIT Training and Mental Health First Aid which have been well received. Changing Times: Transforming Culture and Behaviors for Law Enforcement proposes a shift to divert those in a behavioral health crisis away from incarceration and into treatment, as well as invites Law Enforcement intervention away from the criminal justice system and into treatment. The authors successfully blend the theoretical with hands-on experience throughout the book, enabling the reader to understand the influences of Law Enforcement’s tradition and other forces that drive attitudes, culture and behavior and how to bring change. The additional and difficult task ahead is to bring about systemic change in culture and a concurrent change in attitudes and behaviors. Changing Times proves to be the reliable and accessible reference for those intent on bringing change to the vital effort of diversion.

Seeking Value by Wesley E. Sowers, M.D.,Jules M. Ranz, M.D.,Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry Pdf

The U.S. health care system is the most expensive in the world by a considerable margin, yet health indicators are among the worst in the developed world. Seeking Value: Balancing Cost and Quality in Psychiatric Care, a comprehensive volume by the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry's Mental Health Services Committee, examines the factors that have contributed to this disparity and offers a holistic vision for health care reform--one in which the psychiatric profession plays a pivotal role. From cost consciousness in the prescribing of medications and forming alliances with other health professionals to rethinking the way health care is financed and efforts to eliminate counterproductive incarceration practices, this guide outlines individual, systemic, and sociopolitical interventions that will position readers to effect substantive change both in the short term and in the long term. Beyond spurring thought and conversation around how to improve value in the services the psychiatric profession provides and the systems in which it operates, this book will equip those looking to develop a concrete advocacy agenda and the strategies needed to see it realized.
