The Best Models

Usually we can only choose between an emergency room, a hospital ward, or a clinic with an individual healthcare provider when caring for someone in an extreme state.

See 5 unique video interviews that offer effective alternatives.  Learn from  psychiatrists Judith Pentz, Rick Leskowitz, and Dagmar Ramos, as well as Beatrice Birch and Diana Cooper, a mother of a man who has been through it all.  Review resources of models from USA, Norway and Brazil.

Your Take Home:

  • Several working models for residential care
  • Several working models for collaborative clinics
  • Contact information
  • More natural options to treat the causes of problems
  • Become more “integrative”–as a consumer or a provider
  • Hope for the future of mental healthcare
