Mental Health Partners

What is "whole-person care"? It is healthcare that considers the many different factors that impact one’s health and wellness. For example, your physical, mental, and dental health all play a vital role in your overall quality of life. As we move closer to merging with Clinica Family Health (our longtime community health partner), we are thrilled to meet our clients where they are by offering them better access to physical and dental health services. Whole-person care matters because it recognizes that our health is multi-dimensional, just like our community. #WholePersonCare #Health #Wellness

Our Walk-In Crisis Center in Boulder will be closed from 12am-7am for several upcoming dates, starting tonight. We know the important role this service provides to our community, and we are working hard to resume 24/7 operations as soon as possible. Look for more information in the coming days. In the meantime, if you or a loved one are experiencing a mental health crisis, you can also call or text 988 - or access Colorado's network of walk-in crisis centers across the state for in-person support.

Have you HERD the news?! MHP and Clinica Family Health intend to merge to become Clinica Family Health and Wellness. As one combined organization we will provide affordable and holistic physical, mental, and dental health services from locations across Boulder, Broomfield, Gilpin, and Adams counties. We anticipate the merger to be completed in September 2024. How exciting is that?! We'll provide quality, comprehensive, and community-based healthcare for thousands of local individuals and families - including those with Medicaid, Medicare, and uninsured. Why are we doing this? The healthcare environment is rapidly changing and access to care in a fragmented system is a continued challenge. This merger will help us remove some of these barriers and bring together more resources to meet the needs of our community. For the past 2 years, MHP and Clinica have been thoughtfully discussing how we could better work together to address these realities. It became abundantly clear that merging—leveraging over 100 years of combined experience and expertise in physical and behavioral health—was the strongest way to effect meaningful change. We look forward to continuing to serve our community in new and exciting ways! Learn more about the merger: https://lnkd.in/gtAqBFKs

Those in minoritized communities experience a healthcare gap. In large part, this gap is caused by biases that stem from systemic racism. Biases and racism create a barrier to care, and we can see these disproportionate effects generationally. Barriers to care are obstacles that make it challenging for individuals to receive help. Some barriers to care include: - Cultural and language differences between providers and clients - Insurance issues (such as lack of insurance or insufficient coverage) - Stigma and shame within communities What can we do about this? As individuals, we can seek information and stay up to date on findings and stats. It's important that we also research what political candidates advocate for and then vote accordingly, if able. A lack of insurance and resources impacts our community. We need to use our voice. You matter and we're so happy that you're here! #MentalHealth #HealthCare

MHP provides services for individuals as well as families.

Many services are provided directly in the client’s home and community. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/giBphhbV

"Intersectionality" is a term used to describe the lens through which we come to understand our experiences in the world, especially regarding our experiences with identity-based oppressions. From gender to race to ethnicity to age to ability and beyond, we all experience life differently. Kimberlé Crenshaw, American civil rights advocate, lawyer, and law professor at UCLA School of Law and Columbia Law School, created this term in 1989 when reviewing a legal case. Those who hold multiple identities or belong to multiple groups face unique challenges. From biases they encounter to finding culturally and linguistically competent clinicians, therapy is simply less accessible. This Minority Mental Health Month, learn more about local resources in your community that supports the identities of many. https://lnkd.in/g-vw9rZ3
