Check out Dr. Heather Henderson’s publication in this month’s issue of SAEM Pulse! “From Crisis to Connection: Substance Use, Psychosis, and the Emergency Department” was co-authored with Kyra Benowitz on behalf of the SAEM Social Emergency Medicine and Population Health Interest Group. The article explores a practical framework to differentiate between primary and substance-induced psychosis, in addition to evidence based harm reduction and care coordination strategies. Congratulations Dr. Henderson!!🎉👏
