“Residents listen to Swift while playing chair volleyball, wear Swift pins over their hearts and dance to Swift’s “Shake It Off” during physical therapy.” A reminder that music transcends generation - especially in Omaha 🙂

Residents of Omaha’s Remington Heights independent and assisted living community are determined to convince Swift to visit for bingo.

There are many life lessons that I could teach my sons like, “big boys don’t cry” or “real men take control”. Instead, I think I’ll go with, “there is strength in vulnerability, never be too “strong” to admit you’re hurting, always know that you matter, and know that you can

Always important to support parents or guardians when they are caring for a youth in crisis. And equally essential for schools to support a smooth and tailored transition of kids or teens back to class. We need to ensure every community values mental health!

As families fracture, people are living longer and are more likely to find themselves without close relatives or friends at the end of their lives.

“You are not alone.” - @1of2vics on the isolation of struggling alone with depression. As a psychiatrist, I work with many people who feel lonely at work, school, and home. We can do our part to check in. And if you are struggling, call or text 988. Never worry alone 🌱

So true - and I was inspired to see the consistent presence of @AACAP and child psychiatry leaders at the #WCP25! #WorldMentalHealthDay is a reminder to ask how we can support the most vulnerable children and teens in every community 🌱
World Mental Health Day serves as a powerful reminder that there is no health without mental health. #WorldMentalHealthDay #mentalhealth

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, each of us has a voice to celebrate mental health. And that means investing in workforce and access to care. It means speaking up to shatter stigma at home, at work and beyond. And striving for a future where recovery is possible for all 🌱
Today we celebrate mental health around the world, because every mind matters. Let's foster understanding, empathy, and support for one another. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters

Thanks for your leadership, @Prof_TGSchulze! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The #WCP25 is over. To me, being in the senior leadership of @WPA_Psychiatry, 6 days of limited sleep, exciting science, meeting old and new friends, heated debates, open ears and eyes have come to an end. I am honored to serve an association of a quarter of a million colleagues

What a great session learning across continents!
Thrilled to learn from @AnushCT @subodhdave1 Dr Vinay Lakra & Dr Dina Aly El-Gabry on the value of a diverse psychiatry workforce! From linguistic to cultural perspectives, the #WCP25 is a reflection of the need for clinicians who connect with patients from every community!

@AnushCT @subodhdave1 “We have a short specified training 2-year program for overseas trainees. After they finish, they are supposed to bring their skills back to their native countries. But that does not always happen, so we need to look into supporting them to return.” - Dr Vinay Lakra at #wcp25
