Empowering with Knowledge
At Bayside Mental Health and Wellness, it is our belief that patient education is key for your in-depth understanding of your condition and is as much of a priority as the treatment itself. We are committed to providing the best quality care along with empowering you with the knowledge to look after yourself.
Why Patient Education Matters
Bayside Mental Health and Wellness knows that part of your path to better mental health is through patient education. Keeping yourself updated on your condition, treatment options, and the adequate coping strategies can help you take control of your mental health more effectively.
Patient education empowers you to make intelligent decisions regarding your care, identify early warning signs of mental health problems, develop good mechanisms to cope, and communicate clearly with your health professional. There is less worry about your condition and its treatment.
How We Educate Our Patients
We use several avenues to ensure you receive the information you need:
One-on-Ones
During appointments, our mental health professionals take their time talking you through your condition, treatment plans, and any other questions you may have. We work on maintaining an atmosphere that will make you feel comfortable when seeking support and direction.
Educational Materials
We have clearly written handouts, brochures, and online material for you to read at your leisure on a wide range of topics, from mental health conditions through to general tips for good wellbeing.
A blog on our website covering numerous topics on mental health, edited by our experienced team, is a window of valuable insights and practical tips on mental health management.
Our Approach to Patient Education
At Bayside Mental Health and Wellness, we will personalize our patient education to ensure you receive what personally benefits you. Everybody learns differently, so we have in place a number of different ways to ensure you get the information you want in the format it best serves you.
Personalized Information
One-size-fits-all education does not work for us. We will take out time to understand your UNIQUE situation and relate information that is relevant to YOU.
Clear, Jargon-Free Language
We can help you understand complex mental health information in an easy way. Our goal is to ensure that you leave the session feeling informed, empowered, and not confused.
Interactive Learning
We ask questions and encourage you to ask them as well. This step is taken so that no stone is left unturned regarding your understanding of your condition and the plan for treatment.
Ongoing Support
The education of patients is not a one time thing. We continue to support you with information throughout your journey for treatment.
The Benefits of Our Patient Education Approach
Our patient-centered approach to education has several advantages for clients, such as:
Improved treatment Outcomes
When you understand your condition and the treatment plan, you’re more likely to adhere to it and get better results.
Less Anxiety
Information is power. Knowing your mental health condition can alleviate many of the fears and anxiety associated with your symptoms and treatment.
More Ability to Self-Manage
Our education programs will help you gain the skills you need to better manage your mental health in your daily life—not just when you come into the office. Better Communication
