CHALLENGES IN WOMEN'S MENTAL HEALTH &<br />
THE FIRST-STEP PLAN<br />
FEATURING AMY PORFIRI, MANAGING DIRECTOR & DR. VEDRANA HODZIC<br />
DIRECTOR FOR FELLOWSHIPS & MEDICAL EDUCATION, AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC<br />
ASSOCIATION FOUNDATION<br />
George Sifakis: What are some challenges facing women today<br />
that are often overlooked? We've talked about a few of them,<br />
but what solutions do we have to address some of these?<br />
Dr. Hodzic: So clinically, going back to that caretaker model,<br />
what I've often seen is people wait until they need a much<br />
higher level of care. There are women who come in where it's<br />
gotten to the point that they may need more intensive<br />
outpatient services or even full inpatient care, but then who's<br />
going to be taking care of their children or other family<br />
members? They're not able to actually access those services if<br />
they really need them?<br />
Amy Porfiri<br />
Dr. Hodzic: Now, I think our first-step campaign is going to<br />
help address that. Again, working on that prevention<br />
model. So start early; get connected to someone in a<br />
traditional outpatient setting while it is still manageable.<br />
George: Wow, incredible. Amy?<br />
Dr. Vedrana Hodzic<br />
Amy Porfiri: Agreed, and I think knowing when self-care is<br />
not enough. There's so much online about how to do selfcare,<br />
including yoga, meditation, and such, but really, when<br />
do you need professional help? Taking that step,<br />
recognizing that it's okay, you're not failing at self-care if<br />
you seek professional care. So really giving people the tools<br />
and awareness to know when to take that step is crucial.<br />
