006 Building Plans for a Post Trauma Future with John Kajander
Manage episode 504103536 series 3566891
After a century of neglect and stigma, we now have a powerful opportunity to reimagine a healthcare system that fully recognizes and integrates trauma care.
In Part II of our powerful conversation with John Kajander — former Executive Vice President of the Texas Medical Center and seasoned healthcare consultant — we move beyond the historical challenges of mental health in healthcare to explore what a trauma-informed, integrated care system could look like. John brings over 45 years of experience in health systems to help us envision a future where mental health is no longer sidelined and stigmatized. Together we discuss the financial and societal cost of untreated trauma, the urgent need to shift narratives and policies and how long-term, team-based care planning is essential for meaningful healing. John and I explore why fragmented systems can not effectively address fragmented mental disorders and what it will take to build a cohesive, compassionate and collaborative approach to mental healthcare. Today we stand at a turning point: the chance to build a system that integrates trauma care, healing our communities.
If you haven’t yet listened to Part I, I recommend starting there for essential context on the financial and systemic barriers that brought us to this point.
