Contrast research findings between student A and

Contrast research findings between student A and Student B in terms of barriers. Are the recommendations feasible? student A: According to the Sacramento County Coroner’s office website, there were 113 homicides and 199 suicides in 2021 (2023). Mental health problems and a lack of human and social equity lead to suicidal and homicidal behaviors. According to Burkholder and Nash, organizational blocks consist of lessened healthcare resources in the poorest city areas. Funding is sparse, and units are understaffed and ill-equipped to care for the community’s culture and patients. Patients may be afraid to access services due to their inability to pay or because they are not able to connect on a cultural or background level. The same fear may plague providers for safety because of the location or concern that they will fail financially because patients will not pay their obligations (2013). This relates to the financial barrier to care. Providers may limit the amount of publicly paid patients due to higher reimbursement levels from private insurance companies. Many programs in communities set up to prevent violence are underfunded and rely heavily on private donations and grant funding. One of the barriers to preventing teen suicide is the lack of treatment options available for suicidal tendencies and thoughts. According to Michael & Ramtekkar, the sooner that susceptible youth can be recognized and treated, the better. Adding resources to schools helps create community partners that combine efforts with teachers, social workers, and district administrators. Technology also assists with the lack of access to counseling. Tele-behavioral health (TBH) represents a solution for mental health in teens because it can be accessed by computer or smartphone. Student B: Good evening class for my discussion since the community where I live is small I decided to do the state of New York. Statistical Data on Annual Suicide and Homicide Rates in New York Community In 2018, the suicide rate in New York City was 8.9 per 100,000 people, which is slightly above the national rate of 14.2 per 100,000 people. The homicide rate was 4.5 per 100,000 people, which is lower than the national rate of 6.0 per 100,000 people. Organizational Barrier One organizational barrier relating to the suicide- and homicide-prone is the lack of access to mental health services. This barrier is created by a lack of mental health professionals in underserved communities, as well as a lack of awareness of available mental health services. Recommendation to Reduce/Eliminate Organizational Barrier One recommendation to reduce this barrier is to increase the number of mental health professionals in underserved communities. This could be done by providing incentives to mental health professionals to work in these areas, such as providing loan forgiveness or additional funding for mental health services in these areas. Another recommendation to reduce this barrier is to increase awareness of mental health services in underserved communities. This could be done by providing education and outreach to the community about available services, as well as providing increased access to these services. Financial Barrier One financial barrier relating to the suicide- and homicide-prone is the lack of insurance coverage for mental health services. This barrier is created by the lack of insurance coverage for mental health services in many areas, as well as the high cost of mental health services. Recommendation to Reduce/Eliminate Financial Barrier One recommendation to reduce this barrier is to increase the availability of insurance coverage for mental health services. This could be done by providing incentives to insurance companies to provide more coverage for mental health services, such as providing additional funding or tax breaks. Another recommendation to reduce this barrier is to reduce the cost of mental health services. This could be done by providing additional funding for mental health services, as well as providing incentives to mental health professionals to provide services at a lower cost. Local Resources Available for Suicide- and Homicide-Prone Individuals Two local resources available for suicide- and homicide-prone individuals in New York City are the New York City Mental Health Hotline and the New York State Office of Mental Health. The New York City Mental Health Hotline provides 24/7 access to mental health professionals and resources. Services offered by this hotline include crisis counseling, referrals to mental health services, and information about mental health resources. The New York State Office of Mental Health provides a variety of mental health services, including prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals suffering from mental illness. Services offered by this office include inpatient and outpatient services, crisis intervention, and case management. These services do meet the needs of the population, as they provide access to mental health professionals, resources, and services. However, there is still a need for additional resources and services to meet the needs of the population, such as increased access to mental health services in underserved communities. Explanation: Suicide and homicide are two of the most tragic and devastating forms of violence reported in the news daily. Individuals suffering from abuse, depression, mental disorders, or substance-abuse disorders are at an increased risk of committing suicide or homicide. Factors that contribute to this risk are age, gender, socio-economic status, and race/ethnicity. Additionally, situations that cause extreme life or job stress, such as seen when a loved one dies or military personnel, can contribute to the risk. In the New York community, the suicide rate in 2018 was 8.9 per 100,000 people, which is slightly above the national rate of 14.2 per 100,000 people. The homicide rate was 4.5 per 100,000 people, which is lower than the national rate of 6.0 per 100,000 people. It is clear that the rate of suicide and homicide in New York is a concern, and that individuals in the community are vulnerable to these forms of violence. Chapter 6 of the course text highlights barriers to care relating to the vulnerable and this population group in particular. There are both organizational and financial barriers to accessing care for individuals at risk for suicide or homicide. One organizational barrier is the lack of access to mental health services. This barrier is created by a lack of mental health professionals in underserved communities, as well as a lack of awareness of available mental health services. One recommendation to reduce this barrier is to increase the number of mental health professionals in underserved communities. This could be done by providing incentives to mental health professionals to work in these areas, such as providing loan forgiveness or additional funding for mental health services in these areas. Another recommendation is to increase awareness of mental health services in underserved communities. This could be done by providing education and outreach to the community about available services, as well as providing increased access to these services. A financial barrier to accessing care for individuals at risk for suicide or homicide is the lack of insurance coverage for mental health services. This barrier is created by the lack of insurance coverage for mental health services in many areas, as well as the high cost of mental health services. One recommendation to reduce this barrier is to increase the availability of insurance coverage for mental health services. This could be done by providing incentives to insurance companies to provide more coverage for mental health services, such as providing additional funding or tax breaks. Another recommendation is to reduce the cost of mental health services. This could be done by providing additional funding for mental health services, as well as providing incentives to mental health professionals to provide services at a lower cost. In New York City, there are two local resources available for suicide- and homicide-prone individuals: the New York City Mental Health Hotline and the New York State Office of Mental Health. The New York City Mental Health Hotline provides 24/7 access to mental health professionals and resources. Services offered by this hotline include crisis counseling, referrals to mental health services, and information about mental health resources. The New York State Office of Mental Health provides a variety of mental health services, including prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals suffering from mental illness. Services offered by this office include inpatient and outpatient services, crisis intervention, and case management. These services do meet the needs of the population, as they provide access to mental health professionals, resources, and services. However, there is still a need for additional resources and services to meet the needs of the population, such as increased access to mental health services in underserved communities. Ultimately, it is clear that to reduce the rate of suicide and homicide in the New York community, it is necessary to address the organizational and financial barriers to accessing mental health services. This can be done by providing incentives to mental health professionals to work in underserved communities, increasing awareness of available mental health services, increasing the availability of insurance coverage for mental health services, and reducing the cost of mental health services. Additionally, it is important to increase access to mental health services in underserved communities to ensure that all individuals have access to the care they need.
