Making Room for Mental Health
For patients receiving mental health treatment, everyday stressors can negatively impact their well-being and personal progress. Patients may be tasked with completing homework, practicing certain life skills or engaging in self-care in between sessions, but financial constraints, family dynamics and other barriers can often stand in their way. Without these obstacles, patients often find more time and energy to focus on themselves. Ochsner Health’s Behavioral Health Department created the Code Blue Fund with this specific goal in mind.
Guiding Patients and Staff Through Ethical Decision Making
