MindSet with Tom McNulty, M.S. : Why Is Behavioral Health Not Working? Do You Know Someone Suffering?

The Episodes Project is a solution-based, three-component initiative designed to bring more compassion, knowledge, skill sets, humanity, and kindness to those experiencing daily or frequent turmoil related to a behavioral health concern. That "dark cloud" of misery during behavioral health moments can drain the strongest among us and tear down our spirit. For those in our community who, by virtue of their job duties, will encounter troubled or deeply disturbed individuals, there is no such thing as too many skill sets. Peter Hertsgaard, M.F.A., joins Tom McNulty, M.S., for another open discussion on the state of behavioral health in our time. Mass shootings, family murder, sexual assaults, human trafficking, dangerous drug use, suicide, peer bullying, fear, community trauma, and so much more seem omnipresent no matter what zip code you hold dear. Is behavioral health really making the impact we need? There were approximately 38,000 deaths by guns in the USA last year, and 24,000+ were suicides by gun. Is it possible you might know someone who desperately needs help? Do you know what to do? Have you lost someone? It is sad how many lives we lose every day because of flawed protocols, ignorance, stupidity, governmental incompetence, injustice, and indifference.

MindSet with Tom McNulty, M.S. - The Dunning-Kruger Effect in Today's Society

Sadly, our society is overflowing with misinformation and intentionally incorrect and overestimated proclamations from individuals who are invested in protecting their own incompetence. Their primary objective is to protect and inflate their own sense of self, their flawed knowledge base in an effort to appear superior to others. They defend their intellectually deficient claims in order to control those they believe cannot see through their mask of deception. We see this daily in politics, religion, medicine, and all those in positions of expected skill strength. Too often, they are self-inflicted by the Dunning-Kruger Effect - a psychological condition of "cognitive bias". The Dunning-Kruger Effect is attributed to those who proclaim skills they do not posses. Typically, these are individuals who are attention seekers who believe they are fully equipped to render opinions or carry out tasks they have little to no knowledge about that field. Many such individuals' incompetence is a defense mechanism against their insecurities and/or a need to feel superior. Some people underestimate their skills they truly have, but most tend to fabricate their abilities. Obviously, in key areas such as medicine, politics, and other critical fields can lead to tragic outcomes or a flock of dismayed followers.

MindSet with Tom McNulty, M.S. - Just Imagine! The Abundant Benefits of Healthcare Hospitality featuring HHPartners' Peter Hertsgaard, M.F.A.

Just Imagine! If healthcare isn't the most critical service to others, what could it be? Everyday, in some fashion or experience, we interact with others who treat us very well or we have an encounter that drives up our anxiety or anger. Today's podcast focuses on the practical, well-documented, and proven philosophical approaches to fellow human beings in any healthcare environment. The word "hospital" is part of the word "hospitality." Hospitality is not customer service, valet parking, a gift shop, or a McDonalds in your facility; rather, it is innately in those in the healthcare profession, but it may have lost some luster. Why do people study for years and keep studying and learning as healthcare workers? Because the passion to help others demonstrates kindness, compassion, and a commitment to go the extra mile to provide comfort to a patient and their family. Did you know most healthcare lawsuits are a result of poor communication, frustration, and a feeling of being ignored? Preventable? HHPartners' Peter Hertsgaard, M.F.A. and Tom McNulty will chat about today's "pain points" in healthcare organizations and how a "no heavy lifting added" approach can help an organization's environment draw more physicians, nurses, donors, patients, support staff and marketshare. The HHPartners are: Nancy Sheehan, RN, JD, Cynthia Ambres, M.D., M.S., Connie Schroyer, Ph.D., Susan Roberts, M.S., Peter C. Hertsgaard, M.F.A., and Tom McNulty, M.S.
