Healthcare and Wellness Education Classes

Despite the fact that mental health and wellness are incredibly important for an overall healthy life, many schools don’t offer any type of health and wellness education. The health and wellness education classes from Urban Health Group focus on teaching our students the many facets of health and wellness to help them protect and maintain their wellbeing. We emphasize curriculum points like mental health basics, emotion recognition and communication, mental health treatment options, common mental health issues, reducing mental health stigma, how to recognize when you or a peer is struggling, how to seek mental health help, and the warning signs of significant mental health distress. These are all crucial for protecting mental and physical health, and early education on these points can help ensure health and wellness for years to come.

Healthcare Planning

Healthcare planning is an integrative approach that takes into account the services of multiple doctors. This approach allows the patient and their doctors to outline a course of action and the objectives and goals of the patient seeking treatment. This method helps ensure that all care providers are on the same page and are able to best assist with the ultimate goal of treatment, whatever that may be. These plans are also very effective for the patient because they help reframe the focus of treatment and provide milestones and benchmarks with which to measure treatment progress. Typically, these plans are subject to change as treatment goes on, as they are solely focused on providing the most effective care possible. If a healthcare plan is right for you, we will help you outline your problems and goals and come up with a clearly communicated plan of action to help you achieve those goals.

End-of-Life Planning

End-of-life planning is important for everyone, and we understand how challenging these conversations and decisions can be. With our help, you will design and fulfill an end-of-life plan to help protect your loved ones from undue stress and trauma at the time of your passing. End-of-life planning is multi-faceted and person-specific, but most often involves writing a will, naming an executor, making an asset inventory, writing a living will, and more. While many people seeking end-of-life planning and counseling tend to be those facing terminal diagnoses, end-of-life planning is beneficial for everyone, and there are no prerequisites for seeking this service. If you are facing a terminal diagnosis, however, we also offer end-of-life counseling to help you and your loved ones cope with the reality you are facing and prepare emotionally and practically for your end.

Oakland, CA – Creating a Healthcare Plan: Steps & Importance | Counseling News
July 13, 2023

Healthcare is not one-size-fits-all, and your plan shouldn’t be either. A well-constructed healthcare plan, personalized to your unique needs, is a robust tool in your hands. It ensures you get the proper care when needed and can pave the way for optimal mental health.

Understand Your Health Needs

The first step in creating a healthcare plan is understanding your health needs. A general health check-up and mental health screening can help identify potential health concerns or areas for improvement. At Urban Health Group, we can help you take this first step with our dedicated team of licensed counselors and psychotherapists.

Finding providers who align with your needs and preferences is critical. This could include a psychiatrist for mental health support, a nutritionist for dietary guidance, or a therapist for emotional wellness. Our experts at Urban Health Group offer various services to help you meet your goals, including end-of-life support, psychotherapy, and health education classes.

Implement and Monitor Your Plan

Finally, it’s time to implement your plan and monitor its progress. Regular check-ins with your healthcare providers ensure your plan’s success. Urban Health Group is here to help you at every stage, from implementation to ongoing monitoring. As a result, you won’t have to worry about driving your healthcare plan in the wrong direction. 

Importance of a Healthcare Plan

Creating a personal healthcare plan is not just about addressing immediate health concerns; it’s about taking a proactive approach to your well-being. This not only reduces stress but also helps in making informed choices and taking control of your health journey.

 

A healthcare plan is particularly critical in the context of mental health. It can ensure timely and appropriate care and promote a comprehensive approach to wellness. This includes psychological, social, and physical aspects, which, in unison, are key to optimizing for a fulfilling life. This is where Urban Health Group shines with our focus on mental health support and healthcare navigation.

 

At Urban Health Group, we understand everyone’s healthcare journey is unique. That’s why we offer boutique-style services tailored to your needs, whether you’re in Castro Valley, CA, or the surrounding area.
