At Michigan’s State Capitol last week, veterans, clinicians, and caregivers united to advance safer mental health care. Together, we’re raising awareness of medication-induced harms including akathisia and suicide — because every life matters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V38eplKFnTU
Today MISSD honors those who have served as we continue our mission to prevent medication-induced harm and avoidable deaths. In our latest Akathisia Stories episode, veteran Derek Blumke from the Grunt Style Foundation, and MISSD founder, Wendy Dolin, share insights about the need for akathisia training, informed consent, and the current state of mental health care for veterans. Listening to those most affected is a critical step to creating positive change.
