Using CARES Act Funding to Improve Population Mental Health

Overview

With the CARES Act “use it or lose it” expiration date fast approaching, we share practical and efficient strategies for using your funding to broadly expand mental and behavioral health outreach in accordance with the criteria.

Specifically, we discuss:

How it is essential for behavioral health to work in conjunction with public health to improve overall mental well-being within our communities.
Why this need for collaboration is even more essential in the face of COVID 19 and the associated emotional distress; civil and social unrest; and health disparities experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.
How empowering communities with self-help prevention and intervention resources can alleviate mental health issues “upstream” before they escalate into co-morbid acute care episodes.

Anything is Manageable in the Present Moment

Have you ever felt overwhelmed? Sometimes, the demands on your time, attention, ability, and nerves can feel like ‘too much.’ However, when you take a breath, stay present, stay focused, prioritize, and take one step at a time, you can accomplish the task and manage the process with more ease.

Flattening COVID’s Other Wave: Mental Health Concerns

Delayed or secondary morbidity and mortality associated with disasters often exceed that of the original event. Cholera is expected after flooding or earthquakes disrupt infrastructure. Other infectious diseases and maternal/fetal mortality skyrocket in refugee settings without infrastructure or healthcare. But what of our mental and emotional well-being? This is often the greatest casualty in the wake of a crisis.

COVID Mental Health Booster

As you ramp up to handle the crowds in your vaccine efforts, we want to point out you can do a lot in the 15-minute window after the jab where everyone waits to make sure they’re ok. It’s your opportunity to help address a mental health crisis that was well underway even before the pandemic.

Social Determinants of Mental Health and the Shift Upstream

Health experts and healthcare systems are now beginning to focus on social determinants of health by increasingly adopting upstream rather than downstream approaches for prevention and care in matters of physical health. A similar approach is now needed for mental health.
