Navigator Helps Patients and Families Find Meaning and Purpose
Brian Scott sees his own depression and anxiety as a gift. And that's a lesson he tries to impart to the patients with whom he works as McLean's first formal patient/family navigator.
Shyanne was depressed and anxious and had stopped going to school. Thanks to some help from the Tepper Foundation, Shyanne was able to get the treatment she needed at the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program (MAMP).
The first month following psychiatric treatment can be treacherous. McLean is piloting an accessible, low-intervention smartphone app to help those recently discharged from the Hospital.
