New report identifies neighborhoods in need of behavioral health services [TheNotebook.org]

At first glance, Philadelphia zip codes 19148 and 19120 might seem to have little in common.

The 19120 zip code is on the northern edge of the city, bordering Cheltenham Township and including parts of the Olney, East Oak Lane and Lawncrest neighborhoods.

The 19148 zip code is along the Delaware River in Southeast Philadelphia, just below the Pennsport neighborhood and bisected by I-76 before it links to the Walt Whitman Bridge.

But what these two areas have in common, according to a new study, is a shortage of behavioral health services compared with the need for them.

Trauma info and trauma management stuff is not the same as behavioral health services. Trauma advocates who think these things are synonymous are instead getting people signed up for drugs and labels that don't work.

If you want resilience, stop promoting "mental health," or "behavioral health." #Justsaying.
