Those with the most severe mental illnesses had a great friend in Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services. President Biden must build on that legacy. nationalreview.com/2021/02/dont-u…

Assisted outpatient treatment programs across the country have shown great success in helping people with #SMI get out of the revolving door of hospitalization and get the care they need. We are excited to see the addition of a new AOT program in La. bit.ly/39BaOQ1

Great news! West Valley Supervisor Supervisor Kathryn Barger has nominated Dr. Drew Pinsky to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority #LAHSA. Few people understand Street Suffering better. Don’t believe me? Watch our discussions with him on our homepage here: healingmindsnola.org/video-archives/

Amy Barnhorst, MD Yes. The reluctance of mental health and justice organizations to acknowledge that people with untreated serious mental psychosis are more at risk to be violent does no one any favors. Here is a great illustration of that. By Mental Illness Policy Org and Sally Satel mentalillnesspolicy.org/media/bestmedi…

Hopefully this bigger picture will help people see the broader context for our current policy on helping ppl who aren't meeting their basic needs. That plan is a component of this one. No choice to be made between addressing psych crises + averting them! nyc.gov/assets/doh/car…

President Joe Biden just dropped out of the race. During the last presidential election Kamala Harris was the Dem candidate most supportive of serious mental illness policies we advocate for. Donald J. Trump was the most supportive on the GOP side. manhattan.institute/article/kamala…

People need to know this! Mental health misleaders need to stop saying people with mental illness are no more violent than others. People living with UNTREATED, SEVERE mental illness (SMI) ARE more dangerous to self/others. Ask anyone who lives with someone with untreated SMI.

Governor Jeff Landry Donald J. Trump Robert F. Kennedy Jr Leader John Thune U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. This 2019 summit on homelessness, violence and mental illness was really stunning. Posting links to full summit below. We need you Gov, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr and President Donald J. Trump to make our great state, and America, sane again. We were just getting started! c-span.org/program/white-…

MAHA’s anti-medicalization approach has real value b/c for most people, better diet, sleep, and exercise will do more than a diagnosis and/or pill. But Kennedy must focus on serious mental illness—and acknowledge need for treatment there—for MAHA to be comprehensive MH policy.

Thank you Carolyn D. Gorman Yes. #MAHA’s Mental Illness Blind Spot The Make America Healthy Again movement is not paying sufficient attention to the problem of serious mental illness. Robert F. Kennedy Jr Donald J. Trump Elon Musk city-journal.org/article/maha-r…

Fantastic!! Donald J. Trump signed an EO today re vangrants & securing american cites. Finally, resources will be redirected toward substance abuse programs and individuals suffering from addiction or mental health struggles will be able to get the help they need. 👏👏👏 1/2
