[post_content] => This article delves into the critical issue of the growing shortage of doctors due to retirement and the innovative ways local and state programs are addressing the problem. As seasoned medical professionals reach retirement age, the healthcare industry faces challenges in ensuring a steady supply of skilled practitioners to meet the needs of communities. The article sheds light on the successful initiatives that have been implemented to attract and support new talent, from targeted recruitment efforts to tailored incentives for medical graduates. Through these progressive programs, communities are finding effective solutions to maintain the quality of healthcare services, ensuring that patients continue to receive the best possible care, even as experienced physicians step down from their roles.

Through the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), significant health challenges were identified, including the need for better mental health services and addiction recovery support. As a result, MCH and partner organizations and individuals launched the Be the Change initiative, a community-driven program focused on improving behavioral health support throughout the region.

The first meeting of Be the Change took place in May 2014 with just seven members. However, through dedication, community partnerships, and support from local organizations such as the Monadnock Ledger Transcript and 100+ Women Who Care, the initiative quickly gained traction.

Early on, Be the Change also created and distributed a comprehensive Resource Guide to all households in the MCH service area, connecting residents with vital local health and wellness resources. These efforts have played a critical role in ensuring the safe disposal of medications and reducing the risk of prescription drug misuse in the community.

Recognizing the need for life-saving interventions, Be the Change trained community members on the use of Narcan, a medication designed to reverse opioid overdoses. These training sessions have had a tangible impact, with parents sharing stories of how they were able to save their children's lives because of the training they received.
In addition, the initiative has partnered with local schools, involving all three schools in the region to support teacher workshops and student presentations aimed at addressing addiction and substance abuse issues.

[0] => The Be the Change initiative has taken significant steps to address the rising need for behavioral health and substance use support in the Monadnock Region. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated underlying issues related to mental health, including increased social isolation, economic insecurity, and housing concerns. A CDC study in June 2020 found that 40.9% of respondents reported at least one adverse mental or behavioral health condition, with 30.9% experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression [1].
Access to care and overcoming stigma remain barriers for many individuals in the Monadnock Region. Community members report long delays when setting up mental health appointments, and stakeholders have observed that the stigma around mental health is still prevalent, despite improvements in communication about self-care.
Additionally, Substance Use Disorder (SUD) remains a concern. While opioid-related substance use has declined, methamphetamine use is now on the rise. For instance, data reveals that Greater Monadnock area teens use substances at a slightly higher rate than their peers across New Hampshire. In 2019, 25.3% of Monadnock teens reported using marijuana, and 2.8% reported using methamphetamines, a concerning statistic that requires continued community intervention [2].
Teen Mental Health and Substance Use
Youth in the Monadnock Region face unique behavioral health challenges. A 2019 survey found that over 30% of Greater Monadnock teens reported feeling sad or hopeless for two consecutive weeks, and nearly one in five teens had seriously considered suicide. In terms of substance use, 13.6% of teens reported using prescription drugs without a prescription, and 2.8% had tried methamphetamine [2]. These alarming statistics highlight the need for continued efforts like Be the Change to provide mental health resources and substance use prevention programs to the region’s youth.
