  The patient, family, or population health problem that I will focus on in my capstone project is the lack of access to mental health care in my community. This is a problem that I have seen firsthand in my work as a nurse practitioner. I have had patients who have been unable to get the mental health care they need because they do not have insurance, or because the wait times for appointments are too long. This lack of access to mental health care can have a serious impact on people's lives. It can lead to increased rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide. It can also make it difficult for people to function at work or school. Leadership Perspective As a leader, I believe that it is important to address the problem of lack of access to mental health care in my community. I can do this by working with other leaders in my community to raise awareness of the problem. I can also work to advocate for policies that will make it easier for people to access mental health care. Collaboration Perspective I believe that it is important to collaborate with other stakeholders in order to address the problem of lack of access to mental health care. These stakeholders include other healthcare providers, mental health advocates, and policymakers. By working together, we can develop and implement solutions that will make a real difference in the lives of people in my community. Communication Perspective Communication is essential for addressing the problem of lack of access to mental health care. I need to be able to communicate effectively with patients, families, and other stakeholders about the problem. I also need to be able to communicate effectively with policymakers about the need for change. Change Management Perspective Changing the way that mental health care is delivered in my community will require change management. I need to be able to identify and address the barriers to change. I also need to be able to build support for change among stakeholders. Policy Perspective Policy change is also necessary to address the problem of lack of access to mental health care. I need to work with policymakers to develop and implement policies that will make it easier for people to access mental health care. Practicum I plan to spend approximately 2 direct practicum hours meeting with a patient, family, or group of my choice to explore the problem of lack of access to mental health care in my community. I will also consult with subject matter and industry experts to learn more about the problem and potential solutions. Conclusion In conclusion, I believe that the lack of access to mental health care is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. I plan to use my capstone project to raise awareness of the problem and to advocate for solutions. I believe that by working together, we can make a real difference in the lives of people in my community.
