This is a national and local crisis, and these experiences are compounded by the many ongoing traumas we all have been facing including COVID-19, isolation, centuries of institutional racism, economic disparities, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I write today to remind you that \u2013 especially in a time like this \u2013 many may feel overwhelmed, upset, confused, or fearful. You truly are not alone. The City of Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services (DBHIDS) and our allied provider network are here to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I urge you to take advantage of the many resources available to you as outlined in the support card,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dbhids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SI-Trauma-Card-1.19.22.pdf\">\u201cHave You Experienced Traumatic Stress?\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/healthymindsphilly.org\/boost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dbhids.org\/boost<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or call <a href=\"tel:1-888-545-2600\">(888) 545-2600<\/a> to be connected to support; <a href=\"tel:267-233-4837\">(267) 233-4837<\/a> for our Network of Neighbors initiative to help communities respond to trauma; or the Philadelphia Crisis Line at <a href=\"tel:215-685-6440\">(215) 685-6440<\/a> for behavioral health crisis support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The regularity of these events is heartbreaking. The untold impact it has on each of us \u2013 including Philadelphia youth and families, so many of whom attended these celebratory July 4th events \u2013 cannot be ignored. But DBHIDS stands ready to help. We remain committed to serving individuals and communities, especially in these challenging times, so that all Philadelphians can thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jill Bowen, Ph.D.<\/strong><br>DBHIDS Commissioner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the City: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phila.gov\/2022-07-05-july-4th-shooting-on-the-parkway-information-and-resources-for-residents\/\">July 4th shooting on the Parkway: Information and resources for residents<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 5, 2022 Before the chilling images from the July 4 Highland Park shooting that left six dead and dozens injured outside of Chicago even had a chance to settle in our minds, the news started coming in of a shooting on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway during Philadelphia\u2019s beloved Fourth of July fireworks show \u2013 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[70,24,42,71,45,72],"news-category":[],"class_list":["post-3327","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","tag-commissioner-bowen","tag-covid-19","tag-dbhids","tag-july-4","tag-mental-health","tag-violence"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.5 (Yoast SEO v27.6) -
