**SNIP**

It's a two day course that teaches how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illnesses such as depression and schizophrenia.

"A lot of times what you think to do in a mental health circumstance is exactly the wrong thing to do, like telling a person who's feeling seriously depressed to 'snap out of it' or 'you have so much to live for'," said Spindeltop spokesperson Janna Fulbright.

The class was offered free to educators. And Henry believes a better knowledge of mental disorders could help decrease violence in schools.

"This actually gives you a little more of a leg-up and a better understanding of the variety of issues that children may have," she said.

The mental health industry has been hijacked by homosexuals and other perverts.

As much as they might have power...the truth is NOT on their side.

I know that those who have homosexual children still love them...and so do those whose children are bi-polar or schizophrenic.

But just because you love them doesn't make their disease OKAY.

Homosexuality is a disease...it is curable. For God's sake...try to find the cure for your child.

There is no shame in trying to cure your child...but there is much shame in trying to hide your child's disease.

Fix it...don't hide it!

The National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI) has been encouraging “Mental Health First Aid” training for emergency responders in the hopes of reducing use-of-force incidents involving the mentally ill.

But the training stresses that cops are to follow “safety first”—meaning that if a gun is levelled at them they’re not going to take the time to find out if the threat comes from someone with mental illness. They will neutralize the threat.

As it ought to be.
