Today we thank Dr. Mark Ghaly for his dedicated and visionary leadership of the California Health and Human Services Agency. Not only did Dr. Ghaly provide a steady hand during challenging times, he ensured behavioral health care was a top priority for Californians, young and old. We also welcome Kim Johnson as she steps into the role as CHHS Director. A thoughtful and innovative leader, Kim is the right person at the right time for this important job. We know the importance of addressing social determinants of health as we strive for a healthier California and we appreciate Kim’s leadership in addressing these determinants for several decades in California. We look forward to partnering with Kim to ensure that everyone who needs care in California receives it. https://lnkd.in/gkW_tvqk

“Research shows that adaptive grieving is the norm and that most bereaved individuals will go on to lead healthy, happy lives. However, it is also true that a significant minority of individuals can feel so “stuck” in their grief that it impairs their ability to function, sometimes requiring treatment.”
Death often remains a taboo subject in our society, but #grief is a natural part of life and a reflection of the love we have for the person who died. In a new column for Psychology Today, Executive Director of our Trauma & Grief Center Julie Kaplow-Kline, PhD, ABPP explains the importance of healthy grief and how we can learn to build an open dialogue around the loss of a loved one so that no one has to grieve alone. Read the full piece at the link below.

This is a week of reflection and rememberance for California’s behavioral health community. On this week in 2019 we lost tireless advocate and co-author of the Mental health Services Act, Rusty Selix. And this week 2022, peer movement pioneer Sally Zinman died. Our work, and the work of advocates across the state, would not be possible without their dedication and sacrifice. Their efforts saved countless lives across the state of California. We can all choose to honor their legacy by carrying forward the unfinished work of ensuring everyone who needs care receives it.

Class is in session! This week our CEO Karen Larsen was a guest instructor for the University of California, Davis Topics in Public Health Seminar class. It was an opportunity to share California’s behavioral health policy history and discuss the current transformational moment facing the state. We’re inspired by the discussion and dedication of all of the students interested in understanding and shaping health care in California.

California behavioral health providers: We need your help! As we expand our research and implementation initiatives through Vision 2030, we are committed to generating insights that will improve care for those living with mental health and substance use challenges across the state. A critical part of this effort is understanding and addressing the growing needs of our behavioral health workforce. We invite you to take this 20-minute survey, open to all direct care providers in the California behavioral health workforce. This can include but is not limited to: psychiatrists, psychiatric technicians, clinical psychologists, primary care providers, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, school psychologists, professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, clinical social workers, community health workers, and peer support specialists. Insights from the survey will inform the Steinberg Institute’s effort to foster a broad and inclusive understanding of the behavioral health workforce. Data gathered will culminate in a comprehensive report released in 2025. Take the survey here: https://lnkd.in/eayVWPG5
