Opus Spark May 2023

CEO’s Message

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and at Opus EHR, we are proud to be a part of the conversation surrounding the importance of mental health. This month, we take the opportunity to raise awareness and support those who struggle with mental health issues.

As a behavioral health technology company, we understand the significant role that mental health treatment providers play in our communities. Their work is critical, and we are dedicated to supporting them with the best tools and resources available. We aim to ensure that every provider can access the latest technology and innovations to better serve their clients and patients.

At Opus EHR, we believe that mental health is an essential aspect of overall health and well-being. We are committed to working together with our clients and partners to create a world where everyone feels supported and empowered to prioritize their mental health. Seeking help for mental health issues is a sign of strength, not weakness, and it is vital that we break down the stigma surrounding mental health.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, let us work together to raise awareness, support those who struggle with mental health issues, and create a world where everyone feels safe, supported, and empowered to prioritize their mental health.

Meet Stephanie Waterhouse, the outstanding Psychology Associate at Quince Orchard Psychotherapy who has been named Clinician of the Month by her manager. Stephanie is a phenomenal testing clinician who provides exceptional and appropriate care to her patients. She has helped numerous young adults and adults gain clarity around their diagnosis, including those with severe mental health concerns that require hospitalization or intensive care.

After eight years of working in the government sector, Stephanie found her calling in mental health. She obtained a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Louisville and worked at a community mental health clinic providing individual and group therapy services to adolescents and adults. From there, she moved on to work in a maximum security women's prison in North Carolina, serving nearby male prisons as needed. Today, Stephanie works as a Registered Psychology Associate with Quince Orchard Psychotherapy LLC, conducting psychological evaluations and providing individual therapy services to adults.

Stephanie's passion for continuous learning keeps her in a perpetual state of growth. She brings a unique perspective and a sense of humor and is unafraid to voice her opinion professionally. In one notable instance, Stephanie worked with a challenging client who had seen multiple clinicians in the past. Apart from tackling the client's mental health concerns, Stephanie also worked with the family to eliminate external stressors, resulting in a remarkable decrease in the client's mental health needs and tangible progress toward independence.

Stephanie is nothing short of phenomenal, and her well-rounded experience in mental health and advocacy makes her a valuable asset to any team. When she is not changing lives, you might find her enjoying street tacos, homemade tortillas, brisket, or queso because she is a native Texan!

It's Children's Mental Health Awareness Week, and now is the time to shift from awareness to acceptance of mental health challenges in youth. It's not enough to just be aware; we need to embrace and provide support for those struggling with mental health issues. Treatment centers and therapy are crucial resources that can help children and adolescents develop healthy coping mechanisms and habits.

Did you know that 1 in 5 children in the US has a diagnosable mental health disorder? This means it's more important than ever to provide the necessary tools and resources to support their mental health. Opus EHR is an Electronic Health Record (EHR) software designed to meet the unique needs of adolescent mental health treatment centers and their clients. Learn more here.

Remember, parenting can be challenging, especially when your child is struggling with mental health issues. But with the right support, you can help your child thrive. Let's work together to embrace and support our youth's mental health. Here are some tips to help parents support their children who struggle with mental health:

Educate yourself: Learn about your child's mental health condition. This will help you understand what they are going through, what triggers their symptoms, and how you can best support them.

Create a supportive environment: Creating a safe and supportive environment at home can be crucial to a child's mental health. Ensure your child knows they are loved and supported and encourage them to talk about their feelings.

Encourage communication: Encourage your child to communicate their thoughts and feelings, which can help them develop coping mechanisms and feel more comfortable expressing themselves.

Seek professional help: Consult with a mental health professional who specializes in working with children and adolescents. A mental health professional can provide your child with tools to manage their symptoms and help them develop healthy coping mechanisms.

Practice self-care: It's essential to take care of yourself as a parent. Practicing self-care, such as taking breaks, exercising, and connecting with others, can help you manage stress and support your child better.

Encourage healthy habits: Healthy habits such as exercise, a balanced diet, and regular sleep. These can help your child manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being.

Be patient: Recovery takes time, and setbacks may occur. Being patient and supportive during your child's mental health journey is essential.
