Department of Psychiatry third-year resident Max Lydiatt, MD, has spent the past year and a half working on training materials and surveys to help doctors and other medical providers, who do not have an extensive background in behavioral healthcare, learn how to handle patients who show mental health concerns.\u00a0

The Bridges to Mental Health project was started by Dr. Lydiatt\u2019s father, head and neck surgical oncologist William Lydiatt, MD, and gastroenterologist John Mitchell Jr., MD, as an effort to increase access to mental health care through hosting seminars that educate primary care and specialty providers (physicians and APPs) across various disciplines, including family medicine, internal medicine, gastroenterology, OB\/GYN, surgical oncology, nephrology and other disciplines.

Initial seminars were in August 2023 and January 2024, and more than 60 healthcare professionals attended. The sessions were taught by nationally renowned psychiatrists David Rubin, MD; Robert Althoff, MD; and Mona Potter, MD. Dr. Rubin was an associate professor at Creighton University.\u00a0

Hilary Applequist, a nurse practitioner from Methodist Hospital in Omaha, said she had high hopes going into the training, and the August sessions did not disappoint.\u00a0

\u201cThe sessions were engaging and interactive,\u201d Applequist said. \u201cI left with good tools to help care for my patients, plus ongoing resources I can return to when needed.\u201d

Applequist added that she had used the tools often in practice, and three of her colleagues attended a January 2024 session on her recommendation.\u00a0\u00a0

Dr. Max Lydiatt was asked to research the effectiveness of this project. Following the sessions, surveys were sent out to the attendees. He said that participants were not only using the tools but also recognizing more patients struggling with mental health.\u00a0

“The data shows that provider confidence in every domain we studied increased significantly after the training. The numbers we have seen have shown the training is beneficial,\u201d said Dr. Max Lydiatt.\u00a0

Behavioral Health Education Center of Nebraska (BHECN), Clarkson Regional Health Foundations, and the Ronda and Howard Hawks Foundation funded the projects.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
