GREAT RIVER ROAD MAKES LARGEST PRIVATE FOUNDATION GIFT TO FUND MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH POSITIONS IN TELLURIDE SCHOOLS

TELLURIDE, Colo., Sept. 4, 2025 — Great River Road, a Carter Family Foundation led by trauma-informed education advocate Bevin Carter, has made the most significant private foundation gift in the Telluride Education Foundation’s (TEF) history to support mental and behavioral health positions in the Telluride School District. The gift, made through TEF’s Fund-a-Need program, prevents deep cuts to student support and keeps trained staff in place amid growing mental and behavioral health needs.

“Bevin has been both generous and deeply hands-on — donating through Great River Road and working at the grassroots level to bring additional trauma-informed education resources to our district,” said TEF Board President Hannah Richman. “Her leadership is making a measurable difference in our schools. This grant was part of the largest-ever donation from TEF to the schools, and we hope it inspires others.”

TEF is the only organization that raises funds to support Telluride’s public schools directly. It continues strengthening schools and students with high-impact grants.

Great River Road and the Colorado-based Trauma Advocacy Foundation, both led by Carter, are expanding support by exploring partnerships with Second Wind Fund, the Kempe Center, the University of Denver’s Butler Institute for Families, and University of Colorado programs focused on rural school health and education. “This gift is more than a donation — it’s momentum for healing-centered education,” Carter added. “These steps are about building durable capacity. Healing isn’t a soft skill. It’s the core of resilience.”

Quick facts:

  • Great River Road has earmarked $1 million in multi‑year funding to support mental and behavioral health positions in the Telluride School District.
  • Literacy coordinator position preserved
  • Two behavioral health roles expanded from half-time to 0.75 positions each
  • Hundreds of K-12 students are directly impacted
  • Multi-year support secured through 2030

FasPsych Urges Review of Array Behavioral Care and Iris Telehealth Amid Negative Feedback

FasPsych Urges Review of Array Behavioral Care and Iris Telehealth Amid Negative Feedback

PRWire:

Scottsdale, AZ – September 1, 2025

Overview of Array Behavioral Care and Iris Telehealth Concerns

FasPsych, a trusted leader in psychiatric staffing solutions, highlights serious issues with Array Behavioral Care and Iris Telehealth based on public reviews. Both telehealth providers face criticism for billing disputes, poor management, work-life balance challenges, and operational instability. Unlike Array Behavioral Care and Iris Telehealth, FasPsych delivers reliable, transparent, and clinician-focused telepsychiatry services, ensuring seamless behavioral health solutions for healthcare organizations.

Array Behavioral Care: Billing and Workplace Issues

Array Behavioral Care has faced significant backlash for its billing practices and patient experience. Patients report unexpected fees, insurance disputes, and service interruptions during treatment despite verified payments. Unwarranted cancellation charges, even after timely notifications, have led to warnings against using Array Behavioral Care’s services. These billing issues disrupt patient care and undermine trust in Array Behavioral Care’s telehealth reliability.

Internally, Array Behavioral Care struggles with condescending management, high turnover, and unpredictable task assignments, hindering clinicians’ work-life balance. The constant shifting of responsibilities creates stress and inefficiency, impacting care quality. Recent layoffs affecting 10% of Array Behavioral Care’s workforce raise concerns about operational stability, potentially disrupting services for healthcare partners relying on consistent telepsychiatry support.

Iris Telehealth: Management and Stability Concerns

Iris Telehealth faces similar scrutiny for its management structure and clinician support. Employees describe a chaotic workplace with multiple non-clinician supervisors, leading to confusion and stress. Unpredictable scheduling demands force Iris Telehealth clinicians to work beyond agreed hours, while clinical leadership fails to provide adequate support. Upper management at Iris Telehealth is often seen as unresponsive, creating a challenging work environment for telehealth providers.

Recent layoffs following Iris Telehealth’s acquisition of innovaTel signal potential instability in its growth strategy. These internal challenges could disrupt patient care and service reliability for healthcare organizations partnering with Iris Telehealth, undermining the trust needed for effective telepsychiatry partnerships.

Why FasPsych Excels in Telepsychiatry

FasPsych distinguishes itself from Array Behavioral Care and Iris Telehealth by prioritizing transparent billing, robust clinician support, and operational consistency. “We avoid the telehealth industry’s common pitfalls,” said a FasPsych spokesperson. “Our focus on clear communication, fair scheduling, and a supportive environment ensures better outcomes for patients and healthcare partners.” FasPsych’s clinician-centric approach delivers high-quality psychiatric care, making it a reliable choice for telepsychiatry staffing.

Call to Action for Healthcare Providers

FasPsych urges healthcare providers and organizations using or considering Array Behavioral Care or Iris Telehealth to thoroughly evaluate these reported issues. Choosing telehealth partners with a proven track record of reliability and positive feedback is essential for seamless patient care and operational efficiency. By prioritizing quality and stability, healthcare systems can avoid disruptions and enhance behavioral health services.

Scottsdale, AZ – August 31, 2025

Urgent Telepsychiatry Industry Concerns

FasPsych, a premier provider of telepsychiatry staffing solutions, today expressed deep concern over reported challenges in the telehealth behavioral health industry that could compromise patient care. Unlike some peers, such as Array Behavioral Care and Iris Telehealth, FasPsych distinguishes itself through its extensive experience and unwavering commitment to patient-centered goals, ensuring high-quality, compassionate care. The company calls on other industry players to re-evaluate their priorities to address these critical issues and align with the mission of improving mental health access.

Risks to Patient Care

Recent industry feedback highlights issues that risk undermining patient experiences. Inadequate onboarding and training can leave clinicians unprepared, leading to inconsistent care that erodes trust. Overburdened providers, facing unrealistic quotas, may deliver rushed sessions, reducing empathy and worsening outcomes for patients with conditions like depression or anxiety. Frequent staff turnover disrupts therapeutic relationships, forcing patients to restart with new providers, which is particularly harmful for vulnerable groups. A shift toward profit-driven priorities in some organizations may also result in ethical oversights or culturally insensitive care, alienating diverse populations.

FasPsych’s Distinct Approach

FasPsych stands apart from these industry complaints through its proven track record and mission-driven approach. With nearly two decades of telepsychiatry expertise, FasPsych prioritizes robust clinician vetting, comprehensive onboarding, and manageable workloads to prevent burnout and ensure consistent, empathetic care. The company’s flexible staffing model, without upfront costs, integrates seamlessly with partners’ workflows, fostering real relationships that enhance patient satisfaction. Over 90% of clients and patients report positive experiences in FasPsych surveys, reflecting adherence to American Psychiatric Association guidelines and a focus on quality over quantity.

A Call for Industry Improvement

FasPsych is committed to setting the standard for telepsychiatry by aligning our operations with our core goal of expanding access to compassionate, equitable care,” said a FasPsych spokesperson. “We are troubled by reports of industry challenges, and we urge companies like Array Behavioral Care and Iris Telehealth to re-evaluate their goals to prioritize clinician support and patient well-being. By investing in training, sustainable practices, and diverse leadership, the industry can overcome these hurdles and better serve those in need.”

Commitment to Excellence

FasPsych’s proactive measures include a growing network of licensed, insured psychiatric professionals who deliver timely virtual care across adult, child, and emergency services, addressing psychiatrist shortages in underserved areas. The company’s HIPAA-compliant solutions ensure secure, accessible consultations, particularly for rural communities and integrated behavioral health settings. By maintaining a culture of transparency and collaboration, FasPsych avoids the pitfalls of isolation or leadership misalignment reported elsewhere.

A Vision for the Future

As mental health demands surge, FasPsych calls for industry-wide reflection and action. The company encourages other telehealth providers to reassess their goals, ensuring robust training, competitive compensation, and patient-focused leadership to mitigate risks to care quality. By fostering these improvements, the sector can strengthen its role in public health, delivering equitable, high-quality services to all.

About FasPsych
FasPsych is a leader in telepsychiatry staffing, providing affordable, integrated solutions to organizations nationwide.

FasPsych Urges Clinics to Make Immediate Telepsychiatry Changes

FasPsych Urges Clinics to Make Immediate Telepsychiatry Changes

PRWire:

Scottsdale, AZ – August 28, 2025FasPsych, a leading provider of telepsychiatry services and behavioral health solutions, urges healthcare clinics to adopt telepsychiatry immediately to counter the fiscal challenges of the One Big Beautiful Budget Act (OBBBA). Drawing from the Titanic analogy in FasPsych’s recent article, swift adoption of telepsychiatry is vital to avoid disruptions in mental health care delivery as federal funding cuts approach.

The OBBBA, enacted on July 4, 2025, and set for full implementation by 2028, will cut Medicaid funding by $1.02 trillion over a decade, including a 15% reduction that could eliminate $11 billion in mental health and addiction services. Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs), reliant on Medicaid for up to 60% of funding, risk staffing shortages, operational instability, and reduced patient access, especially for underserved communities.

“In healthcare budgeting, OBBBA is an iceberg-like crisis,” said a FasPsych spokesperson. “The Titanic’s crew opted for a long-term maneuver, exposing its weak side. Clinics delaying action face similar risks—staff cuts and service gaps. Immediate telepsychiatry changes ensure mental health care access and financial stability.”

Why Clinics Should Act Now

FasPsych’s telepsychiatry solutions provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional psychiatric care, addressing the projected psychiatrist shortage of 14,000–31,000 by 2030. Key benefits include:

  • Enhanced Efficiency: Lowers provider burnout by 25% and delivers a $4 return per $1 invested, with outcomes matching in-person psychiatric care.
  • Cost-Effective Models: Flexible pay-by-visit, pay-by-hour, or pay-by-day pricing aligns costs with patient encounters, optimizing budgets amid Medicaid cuts.
  • Seamless Integration: HIPAA-compliant telepsychiatry platforms with encryption, EHR integration, and AI-assisted documentation reduce claim denials by up to 20%.
  • Rapid Deployment: Implementation in weeks, with 24/7 support and no need for extensive training.
  • Customizable Solutions: Tailored for inpatient/outpatient care, rural healthcare, tribal communities, and crisis intervention, supporting chronic illness management.

With mental health spending up 53% from 2020 to 2022 and the telepsychiatry market projected to reach $11.82 billion by 2025, FasPsych enables clinics to leverage growth while mitigating OBBBA’s impact. “Long-term planning risks failure amid healthcare policy changes,” the spokesperson noted. “Immediate telepsychiatry changes build resilience.”

Morning Relief: How Kiwis and Prunes Can Help Relieve Constipation Naturally

Morning Relief: How Kiwis and Prunes Can Help Relieve Constipation Naturally

PRWire:

If you struggle with constipation in the morning, you’re not alone. Millions of people experience occasional digestive discomfort, and one of the simplest, most effective solutions might already be in your kitchen. Two fruits—kiwis and prunes—are backed by science and praised by dietitians for their ability to promote regular bowel movements, improve gut health, and support overall digestion.

In this article, we’ll explore why kiwis and prunes are so effective, how they work, and how you can easily incorporate them into your daily routine for better digestive health.


Kiwis: A Natural Morning Constipation Remedy

Kiwis are not only delicious but also a powerful natural remedy for constipation. Gastroenterologists often recommend eating two kiwis daily to improve bowel regularity, relieve bloating, and ease abdominal discomfort.

Scientific studies show that kiwi consumption can:

  • Increase stool frequency without harsh laxatives
  • Improve stool consistency thanks to soluble and insoluble fiber
  • Enhance digestion via actinidin, a natural enzyme found in kiwifruit

One randomized controlled trial found that two green kiwifruits a day were as effective as psyllium fiber in relieving constipation—but with fewer side effects like bloating or gas. Plus, kiwis are rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, antioxidants, and hydration-boosting water content, making them an all-around gut-friendly superfood.


Prunes: The Classic Constipation Cure

Prunes (dried plums) have long been used as a home remedy for constipation—and for good reason. They are naturally rich in:

  • Fiber to bulk and soften stool
  • Sorbitol, a sugar alcohol with mild laxative effects
  • Phenolic compounds that support gut motility and feed healthy gut bacteria

Nutritionists recommend starting with 2–3 prunes in the morning, along with plenty of water. Prune juice can also help, but whole prunes provide the added benefit of dietary fiber.


Kiwis vs. Prunes: Which is Better?

Both fruits are effective, but they offer different benefits:

Feature Kiwis Prunes
Gentle on digestion ❌ (may cause bloating for some)
Rich in vitamin C
Natural laxative compounds ✅ (fiber, actinidin) ✅ (fiber, sorbitol)
Taste & versatility Fresh, tangy Sweet, chewy

For many, combining kiwis and prunes in a daily routine can be the most effective strategy.


How to Add Kiwis and Prunes to Your Morning Routine

To get the most digestive benefits:

  1. Eat two kiwis first thing in the morning, sliced into a fruit bowl or blended into a smoothie.
  2. Add 2–3 prunes to your breakfast—either whole, chopped into oatmeal, or mixed with yogurt.
  3. Stay hydrated—fiber works best when paired with water.
  4. Start slow if you’re not used to high-fiber foods to avoid gas or bloating.
  5. Combine with lifestyle habits such as walking after meals, eating a fiber-rich diet, and maintaining regular meal times.

Why This Works for Morning Constipation

Both kiwis and prunes stimulate bowel movements naturally, without the harshness of stimulant laxatives. Their combination of fiber, hydration, and gut-friendly compounds works with your body’s natural rhythm—making them ideal for people seeking natural constipation relief.


Key Takeaway

If you’re looking for a simple, natural solution for constipation in the morning, kiwis and prunes are an excellent choice. They’re backed by research, easy to find, and can be integrated into your breakfast without disrupting your routine.
