Spotlight: Illustrated Case Studies on Integrated Care Best Practices

Jan. 25, 2022 by Comic Nurse

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Pinterest

By Kristin Potterbusch, MPH The Illustrated Case Study series contains two separate resources on topics critical to the future of integrated behavioral and physical health provision: chronic disease and trauma and sexual history as a vital sign. These drawn depictions of best practices and client experiences were created to offer an alternative learning pathway that would expand the ways we currently educate providers who function within integrated care settings (and beyond). During 2020, the majority of upskilling options for health and affiliated health providers shifted towards virtual methods, such as webinars. Our team was interested in diversifying and challenging the… Read More

Spotlight: Healing the Whole Family: A Graphic Novel about AAPI Intergenerational Trauma and Mental Health

Jan. 17, 2022 by Comic Nurse

  • Pinterest

Guest post by: Nealie Tan Ngo When I first read Grace Chiang’s New York Times article, “Healing the Whole Family”, I was struck by how much I saw myself and my family reflected in her words. It was comforting—validating, even—to read about her feelings of anxiety, despair, and loneliness while constantly chasing after her parents’ approval as a first-generation Asian American. It felt like she was saying, “I understand what you’ve been through. I’ve been there.” However, what interested me the most was her discussion of intergenerational trauma (also referred to as trans- or multigenerational trauma), what part it may… Read More

Spotlight: Prick: I Have Melanoma, Pt. 1

by On Brian Kelley On December 8th, 2021 a dermatologist removed a mole from my back. Less than a week later, I learned that I have melanoma. Confronting melanoma through comics is my first real concerted step inside of the realm of graphic medicine–not because it is self-indulgent, but because it is a channel that helps me grapple and survive what is happening alongside the support of family and friends. Drawing, quite literally, was my first friend. There is an intimacy with drawing. It can feel like you are touching the soft edges of something or someone. Drawing allows me… Read More

Spotlight: Dr. Hen Says – A Voice of Compassion & Education

Jan. 16, 2022 by Comic Nurse

  • Pinterest

I started my illustrations with the intention of sharing evidence-based information about health in a simple and non-threatening way. I believe that the more knowledge you have, the healthier you can be. An informed patient can also help medical professionals make quicker and better decisions.   I wanted to create a safe space for my followers where no topic is taboo; to encourage dialogue and build supportive communities around different health issues.   ‘Hen’ comes from the Swedish gender-neutral pronoun. It was originally created for equal employment opportunities. In Hen World, we normalize the conversation around gender and health. Nobody should be… Read More
