My son worked with the homeless mentally ill. They turn down help in fear they will be locked up. He tried to arrange housing (initially a room in an old motel) if not that make sure they either visited the Behavioral Health facility where there basic needs were met or some one (him)from the center visited them. He took more than one sugar pill while they took their medicine together. Kept loosing his coat until I realized where they were going. Started picking up several at Goodwill. He no longer works there as government cut position. So sad
It’s a shame they cut his job position. Kinda shows how much the gov’t. cares about the homeless mentally ill, doesn’t it? :-(
