If there is a point in that bill where you feel that is, will you make sure you let me know? Because I want to fix that.
I really have no hope that some of the things that have created barriers to treatment would be addressed until Congressman Murphy introduced the Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act.
our mental health system is broken and failing the very people who need help most
most persons with mental illness are not violent, and tragically, are more frequently the victims of violence

We want professionals involved who are looking out for the best interest of the patients all the way through.
I want to make sure we have got programs that work, and the ones that work, expand them, and if they don't, eliminate them.
