CT Paid Leave

In this episode of The Paid Leave Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Barabara Walsh PhD, the Ascertainment and Assessment Director for the PRIME Clinic at Yale School of Medicine. Dr. Walsh oversees the assessment and research at the clinic and is also responsible for training professionals, both here in the United States and abroad, on the proper use of the assessment instruments used to diagnose the early warning signs of serious mental illness in young people. She co-authored the book "The Psychosis-risk Syndrome" Handbook.

Dr. Walsh discusses the clinic's focus on early identification and intervention for serious mental illness and psychosis in young people. She highlights the importance of reducing the duration of untreated psychosis and provides warning signs, such as social withdrawal and cognitive difficulties. The conversation emphasizes how Connecticut Paid Leave supports families by providing income replacement and job security, allowing caregivers and patients to attend essential treatments without financial distress.

We're grateful to have been in attendance for Connecticut Public's "Caring for the Caregivers" panel discussion at the Haley Mansion in Mystic. It was a powerful and important conversation and we're thankful that more light is being shed on this prevalent topic.

We're also grateful to live in a state that has a paid leave program, providing caregivers with up to 12 weeks of income replacement benefits if they need time to care for a loved one experiencing a serious health condition, with the flexibility to take that time continuously, intermittently, or on a reduced schedule basis.
