CaringBridge joins Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers in recognizing the contributions of family caregivers. Together, we can make the unseen seen.

Welcome to the November series of Bridges of Care (#bridgesofcare), a place where healthcare leaders and our own CaringBridge employees and board members answer five consistent questions that highlight their own personal #caregiving / #healthjourney story and insights. Uncovering themes and universal truths. Giving people a hand to hold on any healthcare journey. All in the name of de-stigmatizing caregiving. My guest this month is Paurvi Bhatt, MPH, President, Chief Impact Officer, and incoming interim CEO at Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers. Paurvi is also a healthcare executive, caregiver advocate, #familycaregiver and CaringBridge board member. Paurvi's mom used to say, "All of you in health care take care of so many - are you sure you take care of each other?" Read on to find out how this influenced her leadership and advocacy, along with much more. Today also marks the one-year anniversary of Mrs. Carter’s passing. In honor of her visionary leadership, all donations given via the link ?? below (or clickable in the article) will be matched and will support both RCI and CaringBridge - two organizations that focus on ensuring caregivers are seen and are not alone. https://lnkd.in/gn9Fj8TY

"When you find yourself in the right place for your mental health, it feels like coming home to a part of yourself you've been searching for." Last week I found myself in Arizona with almost 2,000 other mental health professionals at the Behavioral Health Tech annual summit. Solome Tibebu did it again – creating a perfect setting for a supportive environment that aligned with our mental well-being while pushing forward innovation in #behavioralhealth. Tuesday I was on stage with a panel of colleagues talking about #caregiver?mental health - Solving their overwhelm without overwhelming them with more work. We brought together non-profit organizations with a long history of serving?caregivers and for-profit companies with innovative ways to meet caregiver needs. The discussion centered on the growing behavioral health issues of?caregivers, the need for innovative approaches to solve?caregiver?isolation and overwhelm, while also building evidence for the impact solutions have. Thank you for joining me in this powerful conversation Lili Strasser (GoFundMe), Sarah Mastrorocco (Instacart Health),?Michael Lawrence, MBA (Clever RX), and our moderator, Dr. Kate Wolin. Read here for some key takeaways from the panel from audience member Paul Wilson. https://lnkd.in/gBJt_V6z I only stayed for 24 hours as I had to come back for a CaringBridge board meeting, but wow, what an impactful 24 hours it was. Pay attention to these disruptors in behavioral health. 1.?Sober Sidekick by Empathy Health Tech and Chris Thompson, founder and CEO – Lived experience ? Authenticity ? User trust ? Patient outcomes ? You will be blown away at how he has garnered human empathy to create a ripple effect that could turn addiction treatment on its head, driving 10x better recovery outcomes, disrupting industry incentives. 2.?Supportiv and Helena Plater-Zyberk, CEO & co-founder and Steve Lafferty, VP Client Solutions – Supportiv is a moderated peer-to-peer ?????????? support platform that is anonymous and driving 20x engagement rates. Add real time sentiment analysis improving stress, loneliness, sadness, and anger in a 30-minute moderated small group session and you get user return rates close to 5x. Watch this team as they are breaking norms and exponentially increasing outcomes with localized services. 3.?#NonProfit + #ForProfit Partnerships are needed… and not hard, despite tax status differences. Stacy Olsen DiStefano has a career of bringing these two entities together to make meaningful progress on big healthcare issues. The power of combining 'maximizing value creation' with 'maximizing mission outcomes' is a natural 1+1 = 3 equation. ?? See you next year!
