“We are honored to provide reaccreditation with Acorn Health and recognize their continued commitment to quality applied behavior analysis therapy services.”

BHCOE Accreditation has recognized Acorn Health with 2-Year Reaccreditation, acknowledging the organization as a behavioral service provider dedicated to continuous improvement in applied behavior analysis. BHCOE Reaccreditation recognizes behavioral health providers that continue to excel in the areas of clinical quality, staff qualifications, and consumer satisfaction, and promote systems that enhance these areas.

BHCOE Accreditation is the only applied behavior analysis (ABA)-specific accreditation. It provides feedback regarding clinical best practices, staff satisfaction and turnover, and consumer protection. Acting as a third-party, the organization systematically measures and reports on existing quality criteria in the behavior analysis community using standardized methods and practices and accredits only those service agencies that meet these standards.

“We are deeply honored to receive the BHCOE Reaccreditation distinction,” said Acorn Health’s Chief Executive Officer, Vicki Kroviak. “Our dedicated staff have further demonstrated our commitment to ensuring individuals diagnosed with ASD are able to live their most meaningful and independent lives.”

“By defining and measuring clinical outcomes, we’re working to set the industry standard for clinical care,” said Acorn Health’s Chief Clinical Officer & Vice President of Midwest Operations, Krista Boe. “We’re committed to driving socially valid and meaningful results for the clients and families we have the privilege of serving, and this reaccreditation reaffirms that commitment.”

Says Sara Litvak, Chief Executive Officer at BHCOE, “We are honored to provide reaccreditation with Acorn Health and recognize their continued commitment to quality applied behavior analysis therapy services.”

Introducing BrainTrain’s New Tech Tools: MemoryXcel and MemoryTrain


This is user-friendly advanced technology at its best.

BrainTrain announces the release of two new memory training programs for Windows 10 – MemoryXcel (ages 12 – 99+) and MemoryTrain (ages 6 – 12). Targeting working memory, attention, verbal reasoning, and processing speed, the software provides technology tools for clinicians or educators to use to help clients and students improve their cognitive functioning and learning skills. Research shows that training attention and working memory are essential for the development of executive functioning and cognition. Designed by a neuropsychologist, these new brain training tech tools may be administered by a clinician or educator either in the office or remotely in the person’s home, an important feature when in-office sessions may not be feasible.

In addition to providing progressively more challenging training exercises, the software includes several unique features. First, these brain training systems begin with testing that creates a customized structured training plan based on the individual’s strengths and weaknesses. Since both MemoryXcel and MemoryTrain each contain hundreds of exercises, there is enough variety in the tasks to hold the user’s interest for a considerable period of time. Another popular feature of the software is the video game rewards provided for kids. As children progress through the program, they are rewarded with entertaining “game breaks” to help motivate them. Additionally, optional built-in BrainPower EEG technology is available that provides supplementary training, encouraging individuals to develop relaxed, positive mental states that facilitate learning and help reduce stress.

“This is user-friendly advanced technology at its best.” – Lisa Robateau-Epps, CCC-SLP, Brooklyn, NY

About BrainTrain

Founded in 1989 by a neuropsychologist, BrainTrain, Inc., is known worldwide for its award-winning cognitive testing, reading and brain-training software for all ages.

Hillhaven Assisted Living, Nursing, and Rehabilitation Center proudly earns a deficiency-free survey


Front Entrace

Hillhaven Assisted Living, Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

We are honored to achieve the level of quality and distinction in our resident care reflected in the 100% deficiency-free status.

Hillhaven Assisted Living, Nursing, and Rehabilitation Center (Hillhaven) in Adelphi, MD, is proud to announce that it has earned a deficiency-free survey in August 2020 from a focused infection control inspection as administered by the Maryland Department of Public Health during an unannounced visit.

“We are honored to achieve the level of quality and distinction in our resident care reflected in the 100% deficiency-free status,” expressed Maurice McIntyre, Executive Director of Hillhaven. “Our staff works hard in creating an environment that focuses on the resident and we are delighted to be recognized for delivering the quality care we strive for every day.”

In order for a senior living community to achieve a deficiency-free survey, all services provided at the facility must meet or exceed all state and federal standards. A deficiency-free survey in Maryland’s rigorous inspection is uncommon and a key indicator of excellence for a senior living community.

Senior living communities are inspected periodically to evaluate services and systems in place and oversee compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. In a multi-day process, inspectors arrive unannounced to assess the facility and evaluate compliance with regulations governing areas including policies and procedures, resident care, quality of care and quality of life, medication administration, medical records, kitchen sanitation, staff competencies, dietary needs, equipment, safety, and overall wellness of the community. The skilled nursing community is awarded a “deficiency-free” survey when all of these regulations are met.

At Hillhaven, receiving an excellent state survey is another example that seniors can expect the highest level of care in a superior environment, which is important when selecting a senior living community. Hillhaven does not have any new residents testing positive for COVID-19 and continues to accept new residents.

Located at 3210 Powder Mill Road in Adelphi, MD, Hillhaven, a Meridian Senior Living community, provides assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing services. For more information about Hillhaven, please call (301) 304-4232 or visit: hillhavenassistedliving.com.

Supportiv Whitepaper Reveals Evidence-Based Solution To Mental Health Epidemic


Supportiv Peer Support Whitepaper

Supportiv Peer Support Whitepaper

Peer support has been identified as an effective intervention to… instill greater emotional well-being, and improve health outcomes for a wide range of mental and physical health issues.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, employers and health insurers are grappling with mental well-being issues that have long affected their employees and members, but have now risen to a boiling point: loneliness, social isolation, anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress are all peaking. To cost-effectively solve these long-standing mental health and wellness challenges, look to evidence-based, scalable, affordable solutions like peer support.

Supportiv, the peer support network, has released a whitepaper synthesizing 120 existing research studies on the unique role peer support can play in improving individual mental health and physical health outcomes. Positive clinical outcomes from the novel mental health solution are discussed in the paper, written by Dr. Rosemary Ku, a physician with dual board certifications in Internal Medicine and Preventative Medicine.

Dr. Ku completed her undergraduate education in Neuroscience and Molecular/Cell Biology at Princeton, and her MD at Columbia University. In addition, she’s an expert on the intersection of public health and novel technology solutions, having earned an MBA from Columbia, and a Master’s in Public Health from UC Berkeley. As she summarizes in the paper:

“The healthcare system is designed to intervene when conditions become severe and is not equipped to address the challenges of daily life struggles. Peer support has been identified as an effective intervention to fill this gap, instill greater emotional well-being, and improve health outcomes for a wide range of mental and physical health issues. By increasing social connectedness and providing both emotional and tactical support for day-to-day stressors, peer support is a low-cost, effective service that can serve as a standalone offering or complementary to disease management programs.”

What is not widely known are the studied outcomes of peer support vis-a-vis traditional forms of mental health care. The whitepaper cites a meta-analysis of randomized control trials (RCTs) that compared peer support to traditional care for depression, in which peer support was significantly more effective for reducing depression scores. Further, peer support was as effective as group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The magnitude of improvement seen from peer support was similar to those of psychotherapy and antidepressant medications.

The whitepaper addresses accessibility advantages of online peer support networks, in a time when low-cost, accessible, flexible, and scalable care is critical to employers, health plans, individual end users, and U.S. public health system.

Online peer support has the potential to integrate with other value-adding features, unlike its in-person counterpart. For example, Supportiv’s 24/7 digital peer-to-peer support chat platform surfaces resources, self-help tips, referrals and recommendations, all in real-time inside. By typing a few words in response to the question: “What’s your struggle?” users are matched in under a minute to topic-specific peer-to-peer small group chats that are professionally moderated for safe, anonymous support. Users receive instant compassion from others who relate to their struggles, as well as practical self-help tools on topics from communication conflict, parenting challenges, or burnout to loneliness, anxiety, and depression.

When evaluating an online peer support program, be sure your selection operates on evidence-based principles, notes Dr. Ku. Some further relevant considerations include:

  • On-demand access
  • “Rigorously selected, trained, and supervised” moderators
  • Scalability
  • Data security to ensure privacy and legal compliance

Online peer support can help people process, cope, or heal from emotional struggles in ways that traditional mental healthcare options simply cannot achieve. Uses come away feeling more hopeful and empowered to take action.

Supportiv has already enabled over 550,000 users to feel less lonely, anxious, stressed, misunderstood, and hopeless through its moderator-guided chats with AI-driven content and resource recommendations. The peer support network is available 24 hours a day at http://www.supportiv.com.

Community Psychiatry Opens Four New TMS Treatment Centers in California


Community Psychiatry, the largest outpatient mental health organization in California with more than 40 offices

“TMS is an incredibly safe and effective treatment option for patients with treatment-resistant depression, does not carry many of the side effects potentially caused by antidepressants, and can give many of these patients a new lease on life,” said Dr. Robert Trimmer, M.D.

Community Psychiatry Management, LLC, the largest outpatient mental health organization in California with more than 40 offices, today announced the availability of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy through its practices in San Jose, Roseville, Davis and Del Mar, California. Community Psychiatry now offers TMS treatments at seven locations statewide, including Sacramento, and two of California’s most experienced TMS treatment centers in Calabasas and Simi Valley.

TMS is a safe, non-invasive, non-systemic FDA-cleared treatment for Major Depressive Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The TMS device generates a pulsed magnetic field, similar to that of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. TMS works by stimulating underactive nerve cells in brain regions known to regulate mood, helping to reset brain chemistry. The typical treatment course consists of approximately 20-minute sessions, five days a week over a six-week period. There is no sedation involved and there is no downtime. Since its FDA-clearance in 2008, TMS has been well-regarded by the medical community as a safe and effective alternative treatment for depression and does not have any of the side effects commonly seen with medication.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 17.3 million Americans are diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder annually. “While therapy and medications can be very effective in helping those with depression, up to 40% of patients do not receive adequate relief from these treatments,” said psychiatrist Dr. Robert Trimmer, M.D. “TMS is an incredibly safe and effective treatment option for patients with treatment-resistant depression, does not carry many of the side effects potentially caused by antidepressants, and can give many of these patients a new lease on life. We are very pleased to make TMS treatment available to our patients in even more locations throughout California.”

“The opening of our new TMS centers brings Community Psychiatry to the forefront of exceptional mental health care in California and highlights what we value above all: compassion, trustworthiness and providing excellent patient care,” said Dr. Priyanka, M.D., Medical Director for Community Psychiatry. “We are committed to expanding access to TMS treatment and proud to offer this groundbreaking technology and safe treatment to our patients who need it most.”

TMS is changing the future of psychiatry through advanced technology that gives patients relief from major depression. TMS is covered by most insurance companies for major depression. For more information about TMS at Community Psychiatry, call 866-317-7282 or visit https://www.communitypsychiatry.com.

For more than a decade, Community Psychiatry has been increasing access to mental health care for Californians by creating cooperative relationships with patients, physicians, psychotherapists, hospitals and insurers. The company currently employs over 120 psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, psychologists and licensed therapists who provide connected care through telemedicine and in-person visits at more than 40 locations across California.

Nexus Family Healing launches Dear Dr. Michelle column to open door for mental health conversations


If someone feels intimidated by asking for help or stuck working through a problem, this column is a chance to anonymously put that issue in front of an experienced professional…. it can open that door to seeking mental health support — maybe for the first time.

As families face an uncertain school year ahead and continue to feel isolated with their traditional means of support out of reach, Nexus Family Healing has introduced a free online resource for anyone seeking advice from a mental health professional.

The types of questions that will be answered in the column range from behavioral issues to parenting concerns such as handling aggression in young children or when to seek help from a therapist. Adolescents especially are increasingly facing feelings of loneliness and anxiousness. This is an accessible and anonymous avenue for parents to open up to an expert if they suspect their child is depressed or could be having suicidal thoughts.

Nexus Family Healing serves thousands of children and families each year tackling the toughest mental health challenges. Expanding mental health conversations outside a clinical setting helps break down the stigma that may still exist around talking to a mental health professional.

“If someone feels intimidated by asking for help or stuck working through a problem, this column is a chance to anonymously put that issue in front of an experienced professional. This isn’t designed to replace seeking treatment, but it can open that door to seeking mental health support –maybe for the first time,” Nexus Family Healing CEO and President Michelle Murray, Ph.D., said.

“When we bring mental health conversations into the open, readers to the column may see their own feelings or challenges reflected in these experiences. This column will be helpful to the person seeking advice, and additionally helpful to readers as well,” said Murray.

Questions can be submitted directly to Murray through the Dear Dr. Michelle column on the Nexus Family Healing website or through DearDrMichelle.org. The advice column is not designed to replace seeking treatment, but to open the door for conversations around mental health.

As the Covid-19 crisis stretches on and the start of the school year brings extra worries, families are feeling more overwhelmed and more isolated. Typical places of support — school, family, church – may not be accessible right now. Many people may feel like they are facing these problems on their own.

In addition to being the CEO and President of Nexus Family Healing, Murray is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and an Approved Clinical Supervisor through the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy practicing for more than two decades.

About Nexus Family Healing

Nexus Family Healing is a national nonprofit mental and behavioral health organization. For over 45 years, our network of agencies has used innovative, personalized approaches to heal trauma, break cycles of harm, and reshape futures. We provide outpatient/community mental health services, foster care/adoption, and residential treatment to help thousands of children each year struggling with emotional, behavioral, and mental health issues – and the families who love them. We’re especially passionate about bringing hope to the most challenging situations.

Nexus Family Healing has eight agencies across four states who work directly with children and families. We were founded in Minnesota – where our corporate office remains; our agencies are located in Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, and North Dakota.
