Speaker: Jerry Gold, Ph.D., director, Scripps Behavioral Health services
There is help; find it when you need it
In healthcare, as in many other things in life, knowing what your options are and where to go to get what you need can be lifesavers. That’s especially true with mental health services, which are provided to Scripps patients on both an inpatient and outpatient basis, as well as in urgent care and the emergency room. Dr. Gold, administrative director of Scripps Behavioral Health Services, will explain what’s available to help you deal with mental health issues and how you can access mental health and counseling services in San Diego.

Medicine and doctor visits are essential components in treating illness. But they have limits. Many people have found that a dose of spirituality goes a long way toward coping better with chronic illness. Our speaker, Michelle Tiernan, has seen proof of this. She’s an ordained minister, as well as a special hospice care consultant. She’ll help you find the spirituality that you may be missing â€" without religious overtones or preaching.
