In 2008, Barbara Harmon volunteered at an outreach program for individuals with mental illness. Half of the patients attending the program wanted to work but were told by their clinical staff that the stress of working would cause more symptoms and more hospitalization. Barbara began researching organizations that helped individuals with mental illness find employment. She read an article about Fountain House in New York City. Fountain House is the first Clubhouse and is the blueprint for 320 Clubhouses around the world. Barbara opened a Clubhouse in Pompano Beach, Florida in 2010. Since starting Foot Print to Success Clubhouse, the organization has offered people with mental illness hope and opportunities to achieve their full potential. On this episode of Bar Hacks, Barbara shares the Foot Print to Success Clubhouse mission, talks about the benefits to program participants and hospitality operators, addresses the stigma of mental illness, and more.

Have you ever felt stuck when you were trying to work through something? Saul Enriquez, a teacher to our future nurses at Rio Grande Valley Nursing School, has over 26 years of experience in caring for people with a multitude of health issues. During his work providing critical care at ICUs, trauma units, and emergency departments, he's seen patients recover from extensive injuries. All of them had one thing in common: persistence. He now teaches future nurses to have patience with their patients. Even when facing tremendous obstacles, survivors found ways to make improvement, even if it seemed insignificant at the time. Future nurses will learn with those baby steps, patients will eventually find themselves further along their path of recovery. So if you feel stuck, remember that any action is better than inaction.

Many survivors have a negative outlook for their future, but Willa asks them to focus on what they can control, utilizing coping skills: including writing a journal, conditioning the brain for deep sleep, and exercising daily. It is important to not feel that they must be brave for others. Willa will explain the ABCDE approach that she uses for counseling and other sources to receive help, such as professional associations, life courses, conferences, and even chatgroups on Facebook.Support the Show.New episodes drop every Thursday everywhere you listen to podcasts. - Give us some feedback, tell us what bindwaves has meant for you by emailing us at bindwaves@thebind.org- Leave us a rating or review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify- Follow bindwaves on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube!- Share episodes with your friends!- Make a monthly or one time donation- Learn more about the Brain Injury Network at www.thebind.org

There are reasons why the Department of Public Safety (DPS) may deny your request to resume driving. Listen to Christine Nelson who is a licensed rehab specialist and a manager at PATE. Several reasons why a person may not pass a driving test are memory lapses, anger issues, spatial issues between cars, and the failure to execute certain strategies. Patients are encouraged to make use of any modifications such as turn signals, change of pedals, adjust mirrors for up and down movements. PATE has a driving rehabilitation program to encourage brain injury survivors to confirm if they can get back on the road.Support the Show.New episodes drop every Thursday everywhere you listen to podcasts. - Give us some feedback, tell us what bindwaves has meant for you by emailing us at bindwaves@thebind.org- Leave us a rating or review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify- Follow bindwaves on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube!- Share episodes with your friends!- Make a monthly or one time donation- Learn more about the Brain Injury Network at www.thebind.org

Listen to Chris B, who advises listeners to go slow when restarting driving after a brain injury. Chris is a member of BIND and volunteers at Heritage Farms in Plano. He has a supportive family, who encouraged him to start driving. Chris remembers the feeling of waking up and recognizing that his hands worked properly so that he could drive. It took 18 months for him to resume driving and to learn how to use his other foot for braking and accelerating. His primary doctors urged him to keep his driving license and continue to keep his awareness while working to regain his independence.Support the showNew episodes drop every Thursday everywhere you listen to podcasts. - Give us some feedback, tell us what bindwaves has meant for you by emailing us at bindwaves@thebind.org- Leave us a rating or review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify- Follow bindwaves on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube!- Share episodes with your friends!- Make a monthly or one time donation- Learn more about the Brain Injury Network at www.thebind.org
In this episode, we visit with two representatives from Fountain House in New York. Our primary intent was to provide a platform to share the results of a recent research report issued by Fountain House: Beyond Treatment: How Clubhouses for People Living with Serious Mental Illness Transform Lives and Save Money. This first of its kind analysis not only offers a fuller accounting of the fiscal and societal costs of untreated mental illness — looking beyond health care spending to include lost wages and productivity, disability benefits, repeated emergency room visits, and criminal justice impacts — but demonstrates how clubhouses are uniquely positioned to drive down spending across the board. The report finds that if clubhouses were appropriately resourced and expanded to serve even just five percent of the 15.4 million adults in the U.S. who live with serious mental illness, the net societal benefit would exceed $8.5 billion and offer a dramatic improvement in quality of life for countless individuals, their families, and their communities. The report notes that the U.S. has historically spent most of its mental health care dollars on clinical treatment, such as medication and therapy, with a fraction allocated to fund the community-based social supports people also need to manage their mental illness. These are policy decisions that can and should be changed. Fountain House is knitting together a national network of clubhouses to help amplify voices throughout the country to underscore the importance of the clubhouse model as a compelling mental health intervention that should be more robustly funded. The bios for our two guests are linked on the Fountain House website. Rev. Dr. Phillip Fleming wears many hats, including member, certified peer specialist and member of the Fountain House board of directors. Dr. Joshua Seidman is the Chief Research and Knowledge Officer.
