June is Men's Health Month, a dedicated time to reflect on physical health, mental well-being, and the barriers that too often prevent men from seeking care.

Research consistently shows that men are less likely to pursue mental health or substance use treatment. But early intervention leads to better outcomes. Asking for help is not a setback, but a proactive step toward a healthier life. And one that takes real courage. 💪

At Gibson Center for Behavioral Change, we provide personalized, confidential care in a supportive environment. Wherever you are in your journey, we are ready to help. Explore our services and other resources: https://gibson-center.com/

We have some exciting news to share — Gibson Center is featured on the No Notes podcast! 🎙️

Our own Dr. Janice Ruesler, Director of Educational & Special Initiatives, sat down with host Denny Morrison, PhD, to talk about something our clinical team knows all too well: the documentation marathon that follows every group therapy session. When you're running groups of 16 to 20 people in SUD treatment, the notes don't stop when the session ends.

So we decided to do something about it.

Tune in to hear how Gibson is using AI to make group therapy more manageable for our clinicians, so they can stay focused on what matters most: the people in front of them.

🎧 Listen here:

In this episode of No Notes, a behavioral health CCO explains how an open access model paired with purpose-built AI increased both productivity and morale.
