Mindful Awareness

Mindful Awareness

Overview
Resources

Overview
Mindful awareness is about noticing what is happening when it happens. It is paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally.
Mindful awareness helps you to be aware of thoughts and feelings. Yet you don’t focus on them. Instead, mindful awareness helps you focus on the present and what is most important to you.

Why is mindful awareness important?
Mindful awareness is at the heart of Whole Health. It can help you live your life more fully, with all its joys and challenges. In general, mindful awareness may:

Improve your quality of life, helping you experience more moments of your life.
Help you see things as they are and observe—but not judge—your experiences.

The resources offered here will support you as you work on mindful awareness.

VHA LGBTQ+ Health Program

Research Opportunities for LGBTQ+ Veterans
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) supports research to improve the delivery of health care to Veterans. VA is one of the nation's leaders in health research and has contributed to many important advances in health care. Some studies use existing information, numbers, and other data, while others require volunteer participants. Some of that research directly examines the delivery of health care to LGBTQ+ Veterans. Learn about specific opportunities for LGBTQ+ Veterans to participate in VA research.

What is the purpose of this study? The goal of All of Us is to help researchers understand more about why people get sick or stay healthy. At the moment, health care is often one-size-fits-all. But imagine a future where your health care is tailored to you. We want to make that future possible. How?

My Life My Story
Since 2013, writers for the "My Life, My Story" program have interviewed thousands of Veterans at VA Hospitals across the country. From those interviews, we craft brief life histories that, with the Veteran's permission, become part of their medical record. By reading those stories, VA health care providers can get to know their patients a little better. In addition, Veterans get copies of their story to share with family and friends.
Whole Health has been a sponsor and supporter of the My Life, My Story program since the beginning. My Life, My Story sits at the center of Whole Health’s transformative and patient-centered model of healthcare.
Listen to Veteran stories as featured on the My LIfe My Story audio podcast.

Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT)

PACT is the cornerstone of the New Models of Care initiative that is intended to transform the way Veterans receive care. PACT assists VHA in transforming Veterans' care by providing patient-driven, proactive, personalized, team-based care focused on wellness and disease prevention resulting in improvements in Veteran satisfaction, improved healthcare outcomes, and costs. The PACT model is built on the well-known concept of the patient-centered medical home staffed by high-functioning teams.Your Care TeamYour VA primary care provider and PACT team - https://www.va.gov/health-care/about-va-health-benefits/your-care-team/

What is PACT?

The 2023-24 California Spending Plan: Transportation
Caltrans 
The budget provides $18.1 billion from various fund sources to support Caltrans in 2023-24, which represents an increase of $3.3 billion (22 percent) when compared to the revised 2022-23 expenditure level. The year-to-year change largely reflects anticipated increases in the number of projects the department plans to undertake and commensurate higher levels of spending supported by both the federal IIJA as well as SHA.
Continues Support for Homeless Encampment Coordinators on a Limited-Term Basis. The budget includes three activities related to homeless encampments on and near state highways. First, it provides $4.5 million annually from the General Fund from 2023-24 through 2025-26 for Caltrans to continue and expand its encampment coordinator team to 30 positions. (This team was initiated when the department received $2.7 million from the General Fund in both 2021-22 and 2022-23 for 20 positions.) Encampment coordinators are tasked with managing encampment cleanups on the state highway system by working with Caltrans’ maintenance staff, local governments, law enforcement, and service providers. Second, budget trailer legislation requires the department to submit a report to the Legislature by January 1, 2026 that summarizes outcomes of the encampment coordinator team. Third, the budget includes $1.3 million from the General Fund in both 2023-24 and 2024-25 for the department to establish a homelessness solutions team. This team will be in charge of coordinating long-term planning efforts involving homelessness and housing across all of the department’s programs.
Increases Department’s Capital Outlay Support. The spending plan includes a net increase of $39.1 million from various fund sources and 143 new full-time equivalent staff for the Capital Outlay Support Program. This brings budgeted totals for the program to $2.4 billion and 11,787 full-time equivalent staff. This program provides the staff support necessary to deliver transportation infrastructure projects, such as engineering and design, environmental analysis, right-of-way acquisition support, and construction administration and oversight.
