Making Informed Choices: How to Assess the Need for and Availability of Mental Health Resources in Your Community
1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. | Presented by Dr. Richard Pulice, PhD
COVID-19 has expanded the level of stress and anxiety in health care workers in ways that we could not have imagined, leaving many to try to decide whether they should go it alone or seek support.
This workshop addresses how to determine whether support is advisable and how to find mental health and related services in the community. It begins by examining the barriers to accessing care, including self- and societal stigma, cultural and ethnic biases, availability, and accessibility, as well as some basic concerns related to a person’s ability to pay. We will discuss the types of services available, who provides them, and what the commitments to participation are. The services discussed will include peer support, individual and group counseling, holistic and pastoral approaches, as well as traditional psychiatric care. At the conclusion of the event, we will discuss a strategy for self-evaluation and determining the next steps in care and support.
