NURS FPX 4050 Assessment 1 Preliminary Care Coordination Plan

NURS FPX 4050 Assessment 1 Preliminary Care Coordination Plan

• Social health support groups such as NAMI  (National Alliance on Mental Illness) stimulate patient empowerment by providing social support to patients facing similar issues by sharing their coping strategies, reducing social isolation, and overcoming psychosocial barriers to mental health. This purpose of NAMI is indirectly impacting patient safety. The NAMI is available through a helpline by calling 800-950-6264 or texting “Helpline” to 62640 and provides services to all areas of Washington, DC (NAMI, 2019). Through helplines, organizations can provide coordinated care without breaking the continuity, and the patients may receive support within their residencies without delays or interruptions These community resources can be practical tools for an effective and safe continuum of care as affected members can acquire social support and improve their coping skills by reducing stigma, and patients may actively seek non-judgemental care. 
• The Dorm-Young Adult Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Treatment, Washington, D.C., is a mental health service that community members can utilize at 1814 N St NW, Washington, DC 20036, United States, and patients can acquire psychotherapy and other interventions from healthcare professionals resulting in enhanced patient safety and continuum of care (The Dorm, n.d.).

• 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is another community resource that provides suicidal preventive interventions to depressed and mentally ill patients in the whole U.S. This will save many patients from committing suicide as it is available 24/7 and provides confidential support to distressed ones (988 Suicide And Crisis Lifeline, n.d.).

Conclusion

To sum up, the preliminary care plan discusses mental health disorders and the broad analysis that includes various types of mental health issues. Furthermore, I discussed the best practices for improving mental health, such as psychotherapy, seeking professional help, and integrating physical activity into lifestyle. Moreover, community resources like Active Minds, NAMI Connections, The Dorm, and 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline are valuable tools that can provide a safe and effective continuum of care to affected patients with mental health disorders. This preliminary plan can serve the community residents in improving their mental health conditions and overall well-being.
