    Eps. 31 | More Than a Prescription: Rethinking Psychiatric Care

    What if psychiatric care was about more than simply writing a prescription? And what if sometimes, a prescription is exactly what someone needs? In this episode of the EmpowerND Podcast, we’re rethinking the conversation around psychiatric care and what it means to find the right treatment for each individual. Medication can be an important and necessary part of mental health care, and there is no shame in needing it. At the same time, psychiatric care can involve so much more than medication, including therapy, support systems, lifestyle, relationships, and understanding the unique experiences that shape our mental health. This conversation is about moving away from an either-or approach and recognizing that good psychiatric care means looking at the whole person and finding what works for them.

    Eps. 30 | Nourishing Our Neighbors: How Senior Meals Strengthen Our Community

    In this episode of the EmpowerND Podcast, we’re joined by Jenn from Elder Care for an important conversation about senior meals and the role they play in supporting older adults in our community. Senior meals are about more than providing a nutritious meal. They create opportunities for connection, help reduce isolation, support healthy aging, and give older adults a chance to gather, visit, and build relationships with others. For some seniors, a meal program can also be an important part of maintaining independence and making sure they have consistent access to nutritious food. Jenn shares more about the senior meal program, who it serves, how it works, and why these services are so valuable to older adults and their families. We also talk about the social side of senior meals and how something as simple as sharing a meal can make a meaningful difference in someone's day. Whether you’re a senior, a family member, a caregiver, or simply someone who wants to learn more about resources available in our community, this conversation is a great opportunity to learn about the support available through Elder Care.
