Final Care Coordination Plan

In the realm of public health, addressing mental health disorders is a pressing concern, impacting individuals and communities worldwide. This assessment aims to comprehensively evaluate educational strategies tailored to combat critical mental health issues such as depression, anxiety disorders, and access to mental health services. Through an extensive review of current literature and best practices in health education, the goal is to refine and enhance learning sessions to align more closely with the ambitious objectives set forth by Healthy People 2030. By identifying gaps in current educational approaches and proposing necessary revisions, we strive to ensure that the content educates and empowers individuals and communities to take actionable steps toward promoting mental well-being. This alignment with Healthy People 2030 underscores our commitment to advancing public health goals through evidence-based education on mental health disorders and prevention strategies.

Patient-Centered Health Interventions and Timelines

Interventions for Depression

Within the next three months, we plan to initiate Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) group sessions as an intervention for individuals grappling with depression. These weekly sessions will offer a structured platform for participants to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, cultivate coping mechanisms, and foster supportive social networks (Gautam et al., 2020).  In collaboration with community resources, these sessions will be organized with the assistance of the Mental Health Association of Oklahoma (MHAO). MHAO offers a range of support groups and therapy sessions tailored to address depression, ensuring a conducive environment for healing and growth (MHAO, 2024).

Additionally, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) will play a pivotal role in this initiative, providing access to support groups and helplines explicitly designed for individuals affected by depression. Through NAMI’s community-centered approach, participants can find camaraderie and emotional solace (NAMI, 2021). Furthermore, our partnership with Approved Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) will ensure comprehensive mental health services, including specialized therapy sessions focused on addressing depression (CCBHC, 2020). By leveraging these community resources, we aim to create a holistic support system that empowers individuals on their journey toward mental wellness.

Interventions for Anxiety

The proposed intervention for addressing the mental health disorder of anxiety comprises “Mindfulness Meditation and Stress Management Workshops” within the next two months. These monthly workshops aim to equip individuals with practical tools to alleviate anxiety symptoms and enhance overall well-being. Through mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, and specialized breathing exercises, participants will learn practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety daily (Zhou et al., 2020). We will collaborate closely with essential community resources to facilitate these workshops. The Mental Health Association of Oklahoma (MHAO) will provide invaluable support by offering workshops and educational programs tailored explicitly to stress management and mindfulness techniques, catering to individuals seeking relief from anxiety (MHAO, 2024).

Additionally, our collaboration with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Oklahoma will enrich our initiative by tapping into their wealth of resources and information on anxiety management. SAMHSA’s expertise in this field will ensure that our workshops are grounded in evidence-based practices and provide participants with comprehensive knowledge on managing anxiety effectively (OMHSA, 2020). Moreover, we will engage with local yoga studios and wellness centers to complement our workshops. Partnering with these establishments will enable us to incorporate yoga sessions into our program, highlighting the benefits of yoga for anxiety management and fostering a holistic approach to mental well-being (Musial, 2021). By leveraging these community resources, we aim to create a supportive and empowering environment where individuals can learn, practice, and thrive in managing anxiety and achieving mental wellness.

Intervention for Issue of Access to Mental Health Services

To address the critical healthcare issue of access to mental health services, we propose launching an Outreach and Awareness Campaign, commencing within the next month and continuing ongoing. This initiative aims to increase the utilization of mental health hotlines and support services by disseminating informational pamphlets, organ
