Mental healthcare for looked-after children is ‘inadequate’ and often ‘unevidenced’, experts have warned. Despite having significantly higher needs than their peers, children in care are often shut out of mental health services, including on the grounds of “pseudoscientific” views about trauma, according to a report by specialist clinicians and academics.

The 119 th Congress is considering passage of an agenda proposed by President Trump to extend and expand tax cuts for corporations and wealthy individuals. Currently, that looks like strip-mining health care and food assistance programs by making the largest cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in history and hiding their dangerous actions behind the mask of cutting federal spending for the greater good.

In todays healthcare landscape, few things are certain especially when it comes to the future of Medicare and Medicaid. Ongoing policy debates, reimbursement shifts, and regulatory changes have created a climate of financial unpredictability for providers across the continuum of care. In the face of this uncertainty, one thing remains constant: patient experience directly impacts an organizations reputation, revenue, and long-term viability.

When someone tells you of their pain, just listen. Do not try to solve or suggest they will get through it or ask to look at the bright side. While it appears helpful, it is actually diminishing the experience of the person who as a result, may feel more immersed in their distress, not less. It can inadvertently suggest their issue is not so significant when to them, it is.

So many have an aversion to the concept of forgiving. It might be because it is thought by some to include “forgetting” and then continuing on with whoever created the issue. Forgiving isn’t about that though. You can forgive, yet not forget or ever trust the other again. You can forgive, yet still maintain a boundary. Indeed, it may be quite appropriate.

Trigger warning… language. When one is overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, past trauma, conflict, etc., other things can fall by the wayside. As things fall to the wayside new issues accumulate. Those issues add to whatever burden there was. To address the original issues, people may enter therapy. That therapy may be as few as a single session upward to years of weekly meetings.

Adverse childhood experiences can have long-term effects on development. Indeed, ACEs are linked to the onset of mental health and physical health problems in childhood and adulthood. Screening clients for ACEs is a natural extension of trauma-informed care, as it recognizes the role of trauma in negative health outcomes. Understanding these experiences and the effects they can have will help behavioral health professionals provide better whole-person care to their clients.

Key takeaways for caregivers The messages caregivers convey in their conversations with preschool-aged children about science can affect childrens understanding of the roles of intelligence and effort in scientific learning.
