Welcome to GeneSight® Cares
The mission of GeneSight Cares is to identify barriers related to mental health treatment and use the voice of experts to generate actionable solutions. As one of the leaders in psychiatric pharmacogenomics, we recognize that the complexity of mental health treatment can be tackled by starting, joining, and listening to discussions that create a spark to make meaningful changes in the way we see patients and ourselves.

“We, as a company, are committed to addressing the issues of mental health and the stigma associated with it because we care.”
We work every day to help healthcare providers access genetic insights that can help them help their patients.

During this unprecedented time, mental health is more important than ever. That’s why we are creating forums to tackle the most pressing, controversial topics in mental health. Talking about mental health issues is the first step towards erasing the stigma associated with it.

Through our webinars, our blog posts and other resources, we are working to raise awareness about the challenges in the mental health world.

Please check back often for new GeneSight Cares information.

GeneSight Cares Webinars

We are bringing together leading healthcare experts for open discussions. These webinars create conversations that ask the hard questions, that provoke difficult discussions, and that ultimately will lead to better care for patients.

Inherited Mistrust: What’s Behind Black Skepticism of Mental Healthcare?

A panel of experts in mental healthcare diversity and inclusion discussed what’s happened in our nation’s past to cause the deep-rooted mistrust of the mental healthcare system and clinical research in the Black community – and what can be done to build back that trust.

A Flood of Patients Amid a Drought of Resources: Barriers to Access in Mental Health Care

Barriers to accessing mental health care were identified by four renowned panelists as including stigma; lack of trust in medical institutions; scarcity of resources and clinicians; and insurance. Listen to this energetic conversation and learn how health care and religious leaders are working to remove these barriers.

Could Senior Moments be Depression? Understanding Nuances in Geriatric Depression Treatment

What many presume to be typical “senior moments,” may actually be symptoms of more serious mental health issues, including depression. Our panelists touched on how COVID is impacting mental health, the limitations of telehealth, and then held an animated conversation about GDRs and whether—despite the good intention–they hurt or help senior patients.

Does Unconscious Bias Affect Your Treatment of Black Patients?

Whether it’s in medical settings, on the street or in the classroom, unconscious bias exists all around us. And it is largely racial bias.

Our panel of board-certified psychiatrists shared stories of experiencing implicit and explicit bias; and offered participants the chance to learn strategies to address unconscious bias and stereotypes in healthcare settings.

LGBTQ+ and Depression: Addressing Double Stigma in Mental Healthcare

Patients who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, and other gender and sexual orientations (LGBTQ+) can often experience a double stigma in which they feel they are not accepted by either the mental health community due to their LGBTQ+ identities or the LGBTQ+ community due to mental health issues including depression.

The mental health practitioners on our panel shared how simple actions and meaningful inclusion practices can help LGBTQ+ patients with depression feel more supported in clinical environments.
