Show Me Where It Hurts
I have been building and moderating conversation on the internet since the internet had conversation worth moderating, and one quarrel from those years has never let me put it down. It happened on Reddit, in one of the medical-advice communities, the ask-a-doctor kind, and the room's name has dissolved from memory while its images have refused to leave. People arrived with photographs of their own fresh cuts and posted them for assessment, and the moderators split over what they were looking at. One camp called the pictures fine in a medical setting: a patient presenting an injury to doctors, the oldest transaction in medicine arriving through a new door. The other camp read performance, attention pursued through injury, and wanted every image gone. I stood with the second camp's verdict while distrusting its reasoning, because the deletion seemed right to me for a reason neither camp was saying: whatever any single poster intended, the gallery was awe-inspiring to the wrong eyes.

Beacon founder Holly Howat joins state office of behavioral health
Beacon Community Connections founder Holly Howat has joined the Louisiana Department of Health as its new assistant secretary of behavioral health.
Howat left her role as executive director of Beacon this summer after nearly a decade of leading the social care nonprofit. There, she spearheaded programs that included addressing the social determinants of health and peer support for those struggling with opioid use disorder. She also served as the first executive director of the Lafayette Parish Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee prior to starting Beacon.
During a panel at the South Louisiana Community Health Summit this week, organized by Beacon, Howat said her aim was to drive the expansion of programs such as Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC), and to seek community input on both needs and potential solutions for behavioral health issues.
“We really want to hear from people, because that’s how we’re going to know whether what we’re trying to fix is working or not,” she said.

The Soteria model relies on personal relationships, interactive activities, and minimal use of psychiatric medication within a comfortable “living community” as opposed to a conventional psychiatric setting.
