We Must All Help to Eradicate Healthcare Inequities!

We Can All Help to Make a Difference.

Huffington Post says, “Racism is a Mental Health Crisis”, and given the representation of racial disparities that are existent in today’s current health care practices, resources, systemically oppressed lawmaking and governing we should all be held accountable for our commitment to demanding racial equality for all Americans to include our low-income, African American, & mentally challenged, vulnerable citizens living in and around the Nation’s Capital.

Despite representing approximately 80% of coronavirus deaths, African Americans living in the Nation’s Capital have continually been faced with daily & constant exposure to high levels of “toxic” stress brought on by heavy gun violence and systemic campaigns of physical, emotional, & mental terrorism disguised in the form of inadequate policies, policing, and programming with the absence of culturally appropriate mental health & trauma representations on the community level. The District currently ranks at the top of the list for Opioid overdosed deaths, and H.I.V. diagnosed individuals. The time to act is now!

Regardless of the nature of the condition, what all people with mental health, social economic problems and illnesses have in common is the hope that when they seek help for their condition, they will receive care that enables them to either eliminate it or to manage it successfully so that they can live happy, productive, and satisfying lives—care that enables them to recover with dignity.  Unless we act the stigma against low-income & minority persons with mental challenges, exposures, & diagnoses will continue!

Please stand with us and give from your heart! If we each give something towards helping to save a life, we can all begin to rejoice in the wonderment of human kindness and the true preservation of humanity.

Perhaps your or your organization’s intentions for giving are not represented in the current Trauma Center’s fundraiser “pre-determined” donor levels and packaging. We realize the importance of making sure that each of our committed donors know just how important they and their donations are to the CCETWC’s overall success.

This “Large Check” presentation provision is designed to offer you or your organization an opportunity to customize the level and amount of contribution that you intend to give towards ensuring the Trauma Center’s success. Every donation is appreciated, and we would like to assure that donations of $1,000.00 or more be made eligible to be presented “live” when a donor request is made via the above registration form.

CCETWC Trauma Documentary The Healthy DC & Me Leadership Coalition invites you to tell your story. Everyone has a testimony. Often, we are silent or have been silenced due to the trauma that we have endured in years past, on-going, or recent in nature. Many choose to suffer in silence in hopes that things will change or get better. Unfortunately, the dangers of suicide and self-infliction are very real realities for far too many.

The Capital City Emergency “Level II” Trauma & Wellness Center project was born out of an overwhelming need in the community to help individuals of mental health and those individuals who sustain “state of emergency” natured injuries. The unresolved trauma that is plaguing large numbers of individuals and families who are in desperate need of help and demonstrating signs of unstable behavior in the Nation’s Capital, need to be appropriately, and comprehensibly addressed.

The stigma surrounding mental health keeps many community members from acknowledging their own mental challenges, it also keeps them from seeking help. CCETWC is a community-based project modeled to serve the needs of our unhealthy and unstable families who are seeking to improve their quality of living and healthcare options.

There are a broad variety of mental illnesses and diagnoses that one may encounter in their lifetime. In addition countless people are living without adequate and the necessary care that is needed to sustain a decent quality of living in the District. To help individuals and families develop better we must raise the standards of care that are being provided and increase the presence of culturally enriching therapies, mental health resources, and support group networks on the community level.

The gun violence, sex crimes, abuse, substance use, overdosing, terminal health diagnosis, hunger, homelessness, joblessness, and the presence of additional debilitating social determinants have many citizens caught-up in never ending cycles of despair.

The Healthy DC & Me Leadership Coalition and its Mental Health Advocate partner M.I. Mother’s Keeper are spearheading the filming of CCETWC’s “trauma” documentary to help citizens of D.C. who are dealing with ongoing mental health, & trauma induced anxieties, in search of and in need of peace.

It is essential that persons living with mental health challenges and exposures know that they are not alone. Additionally, it is imperative that we keep them alive for as long as we can and help them to find quality care and treatment. We are seeking to empower citizens across the Nation’s Capital. We intend to help them to find their voices and with gaining the courage to tell their stories in order that they can begin to heal and become accountable for their behavioral choices aa well as gain confidence in seeking the proper help.
● Talking about your mental health helps to empower, are you ready to release? Are pinned up frustrations, anger, or fear getting in your way? ● It is time to heal, aren’t you ready to start the journey? ● Did you know that by telling your story it may help others to find their voice? ● Is addiction your past or present reality? Are you holding on to unresolved “hurt”? ● Are you a survivor of foster care, adoption, any type of abuse, or incest?
Register today to tell your story and be included in CCETW’s “trauma” documentary for the betterment of you and members in the community who are struggling to get by and doing so in silence. We are all in this together and The Healthy DC & Me Leadership Coalition are proactively working on interrupting patterns of unhealthy and unaccountable behaviors that are stemming from many years of neglect, lack of appropriate resources, and colonized approaches that have governed how and what levels of treatment and resources low-income families of color could and should receive. Enough is enough! Speak up today! You deserve to be whole. You deserve to be loved. You deserve to be heard.

To Register: Complete the electronic form above. A Healthy DC & Me Leadership advocate will follow-up to schedule your filming.

SAMHSA’S Eight Dimensions Of Wellness!

What is Wellness?

Wellness is not the absence of disease, illness, or stress, but the presence of:

  • Optimal physical and behavioral health;

  • Purpose in life; Active involvement in satisfying work and play;

  • Joyful relationships; and Happiness.

  • Wellness relates to social factors that can either promote or hinder social inclusion.

  • For many, the impact of trauma, poverty, unemployment, and other social circumstances contributes to the development of behavioral health conditions.

  • Such factors can marginalize individuals from society’s social, economic, educational, recreational, cultural, and health resources.

  • We have a role to play in building healthy, inclusive communities.

  • Individuals with mental or substance use disorders served by the public mental health system die, on average, years earlier than the general population (Parks, 2006).

  • Premature death among this population is largely due to: – Smoking; – Obesity; – Substance use; and – Inadequate access to medical care (NASMHPD, 2008).

  • Wellness can improve quality of life and increase years of life for these individuals.

  • Individuals with severe mental illnesses experience diabetes, hypertension, and obesity at about 1.5 to 2 times the rate of the general population (Fagiolini, 2005; McEvoy, 2005; Newcomer, 2005).

  • Depression has been shown to increase the risk of stroke in women (Pan, 2011).

  • Trauma has lasting adverse effects on an individual’s functioning and physical, social, emotional, or spiritual well-being (SAMHSA, n.d.).

At Capital City Emergency Trauma & Wellness Center patrons with mental health emergencies that include life threatening situations in which an individual is imminently threatening harm to self or others, severely disoriented or out of touch with reality, has a severe inability to function or is otherwise distraught and out of control, will have access to quality and psychiatric emergency services and referrals.

Physical Health

Whether your life threatening medical emergency involves excessive or uncontrollable bleeding, head injury. difficulty with breathing, severe pain, heart attack, vision impairments, stroke, physically collapsing, or seizure related, rest assured that our professionals will properly assess and evaluate the level of response that will be most needed to help provide stabilized care solutions and minimize complications as well as reduce early mortality.

Holistic Healthcare

We offer healthcare solutions that will support the whole person which includes their physical, psychological, emotional, social, & spiritual wellbeing. Research supports that because your mental state can affect your overall health we support and offer the inclusion of complimentary and alternative medicine(CAM) practitioners and naturopathic doctor recommendations and referrals as a part of our Outreach Community Resource Center’s care regimen and support.

Rehabilitative

Emergency care can typically result in traumatic injuries for which rehabilitation becomes an essential component of care in trying to achieve the best long-term outcomes for the patient. In addition to speeding up recovery times and helping to prevent further complications, rehabilitative care also helps to support a patient’s self-managed recovery once discharged from our facility. Our Outreach Community Resource Center works closely with our trauma center’s discharge department to assure that patrons requiring these services are linked with qualified professionals who will be accountable to the standard of care required to help the patron be successful in their recovery.
