Integrated care (IC) holds the potential for impactful solutions and is, arguably, the best hope on the horizon for improving access to needed care. A larger workforce is necessary but not sufficient to fully address unmet needs. We need IC teams made of health care professionals who understand and are responsive to the patients and communities they serve, the dynamic and interdependent systems in which they provide care, and each other. The way forward will require us to (a) continue the shift from siloed models of professional training and health care delivery to fully integrated communities of interprofessional learning, research, and practice; (b) develop and test theoretical models upon which IC workforce development (WD) efforts can be confidently built, adapted, and systematically studied; (c) embrace all perspectives and incorporate the input and participation of patients and community stakeholders in the design/conduct of IC research, the education and training of the IC workforce, and in WD efforts like recruitment and retention practices; and (d) use systems and design thinking to engineer healthy, supportive, psychologically safe work environments where the tools, tasks, and technology support rather than hinder the work of IC.

{"title":"The weight of expectations: Overcoming mental health barriers as an Asian American.","authors":"Rick Yang","doi":"10.1037/fsh0000933","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1037/fsh0000933","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>In the world of cultural narratives, Asian Americans find themselves trapped in a juxtaposition of societal perceptions and their own authentic experiences, particularly within the context of mental health. This personal story seeks to reveal the nuanced challenges confronting Asian Americans, with a focus on the insidious implications of the model minority myth. While this stereotype might appear as a commendation, it casts Asian Americans in a monolithic mold of success. The author gains insights into their parents' reluctance to seek help for him, uncovering stories of generational silence and community backlash against those who dare to step outside societal norms for mental health care. This reflection highlights the societal pressures that discourage open discussions about mental health and stigmatize seeking help, acting as significant barriers to care within the Asian American community. The current psychiatric paradigms, rooted in Western ideologies, fail to address the cultural contexts in Asian American communities. This oversight underscores an imperative for mental health modalities that resonate with the cultural ethos of Asian Americans. Through a meticulous examination guided by lived experience of culturally competent care, this article highlights the pivotal role of such culturally-informed mental health interventions, advocating for the deconstruction of detrimental stereotypes and championing the integration of culturally resonant practices in psychotherapy for Asian Americans.
