The last decade has seen a steep escalation of mental health crises across the socioeconomic and generational spectrum. It is estimated that more than one in ten people worldwide live with a mental health disorder. In the US alone, an estimated 50% of all Americans are diagnosed with a mental illness at some point in their lifetime. These numbers do not account for people who experience significant emotional distress but do not fit the criteria for an actual mental health disorder. Furthermore, the Coronavirus pandemic has had a substantial impact across the globe on mental well-being and the effects are estimated to be much greater than originally projected.
Patients seeking acupuncture services for any condition, but especially for chronic pain and chronic illness management, are increasingly likely to be experiencing a potentially life-threatening mental-emotional crisis when seeking services. Prepare yourself to provide compassionate, effective and safe support for all patients across the emotional distress spectrum. Identify, assess and respond effectively to risk and emergency. Learn a revolutionary technique to prevent your own burnout. Support patients in accessing their inner resources.
All within the boundaries of your EAM practice. Whether you are treating sport injuries or internal medicine, adolescents, or the elderly, affluent communities or marginalized populations, the world needs your healing presence and skills.
