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