Cancer care is at a crossroads. Younger patients are demanding the psychological support their parents never received. Itโ€™s time to move from awareness to action โ€” and make mental-health care a standard part of cancer treatment. ๐Ÿ‘‰ linkedin.com/pulse/new-generโ€ฆ

We donโ€™t burn out because weโ€™re weak โ€” we burn out because we forget weโ€™re human. Self-care isnโ€™t self-indulgence. Itโ€™s maintenance for your mind, your body, and your boundaries. The Clever Self-Care Guide reminds us to care the way we work: with purpose and compassion.

**โ€œADHD isnโ€™t about being broken. Itโ€™s about brains that work differently. Therapy works best when it meets the brain where it is โ€” not where the textbook says it should be. Thatโ€™s the heart of neuro-affirming ADHD care. A new book from Dr Kerry Chillemi shows how. ๐Ÿ‘‰ ausapress.com/p/978192311406โ€ฆ

Oncology teams know psychological care is vital โ€” and guidelines demand it. But health administrators hesitate, fearing costs outweigh outcomes. Low-intensity interventions prove the opposite: high impact, low cost, scalable, accessible. Itโ€™s time to invest.
