[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 740709, member: 1550"] Smithsmom, you are lucky to have all that support. We dont. Big cities do. Most towns dont. The police are learning but it is pathetic that in most places the mentally ill are in jail rather than in suitable hospitals. The hospitals were shut down in the 60s. Made a bad situation worse. Where I live and in so many smaller cities and towns there are a lack of mental health workers in general. It is very horrible. We are actually like minded in this. The police should not be forced to do mental healthcare and mental healthcare services need to improve. Psychologists should handle these emergencies...highly educated workers, not crises workers or mental health aids. They dont have the education th handle the really severely mentally ill. Your town sounds great. Kudos! I bow to those more progressive cities and towns. [/QUOTE]
