No she is addressing the concerns of everyone who has mentall illness in the family.

Severe mental illness is horrific for families and the ill person.

Leftist dismantled the mental health system in the 70’s and there is no safety net for the chronically mentally ill.

Best thing we could possibly do is have the state take care of the mentally ill with significant oversight, in locked isolated environments where they are not preyed upon by criminals, and are safe, fed and medicated. Of course that would end the mental illness industrial gravy train that has mental health workers in communities with guaranteed paychecks. Dealing with mental illness has become a growth sector and replacement for factory work in many communities.

Yes, they did......leaving many with mental illness homeless and out on the streets when before there were institutions for the mentally ill which were compassionate and caring.

Given that track record, don’t think this “new” initiative will do anything but make things worse.
