I dream of self directed funding in mental health

from Bipolar Inquiry · host Andrea

I had a dream that I was talking quite sternly with the psychiatrist who overmedicated me last April. I remember that I don't really remember what I was saying. But I might have had some pretty strong words. And I don't remember that I was being rude, I was just quite upset with the way I was treated. And along those same lines, in a way, this webinar was about the antidote to a lot of this. A lot of what I've talked about with myself and self dialogue in terms of the system, and troubles and problems in the system, would largely be eliminated. If what they were talking about in this webinar was implemented on a wide scale. The trouble is, it's implemented on a very, very tiny scale in the United States. And they were talking about it. And without further ado, the webinar was on self directed funding in mental health, and they already have it in some other health care sectors in the United States. 1.1 million people are using self directed funding, meaning there's a certain amount of funding one would get, if one had a certain struggle or a diagnosis or, or what have you, and then the person with the help of a broker can create a plan and, and put funding towards what one would like to participate with in terms of how they're going to get better. And that could be almost anything. And they didn't talk too much about examples of what that might look like. But they did in the webinar. It's a Mental Health Commission of Canada webinar, it'll probably be on their website soon. And there is a website called self directed mental health.org. self directed, direction, people, webinar, funding, direct, talking, person, support, mental health, goals, psychiatrist, recovery, seroquel, services, happening, helping, create, medication, clinicianself directed, talking, mania, funding, embody, goals, mental health, people, direction, energy, dialogue, moving, directing, feel, system, create, consciousness, medication, meds, changepeople, meaning, consciousness, feel, state, society, reality, talking, mental illness, moment, experience, mania, brain, bridging, person, pull, higher, ego, point, bridgeSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bipolar_inquiry.
