Explanation beyond the previous statement is not needed; it speaks volumes of financial sanity.

To reduce treatment availability or facilities for these most vulnerable and needy citizens will be an absolute crime. Many of those in need are children. Please have compassion!

Remember Nicola Cotton, the police officer who was shot in the face by Burnell Johnson a severely mentally ill man who was not receiving appropriate mental health services after Katrina. Remember Nicola Cotton if there are cuts there will more people like hurt or killed.

We have 2 friends who have committed suicide since Katrina. The city will never recover without psychological attention. The residents are walking wounded. It will be 4 years since the storm. When will the problems of the people be addressed? A successful Mardi Gras or Jazz Fest is not the cure.

These are paid both in quantitative remedial terms, e.g. emergency room costs, incarceration and street crime, but also in lost revenues to the state due to decline in quality of life. Other costs are in terms of human life and are incalculable. Paying for mental health care is fiscally responsible, but it is also the right thing to do by any moral standard.

]]> Tue, 28 Apr 2009 03:49:01 UTC 5376478 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5376346?utm_medium=rss Funding for Mental Health has been so insignificant in years past that it almost does not exist. The number of beds ready for occupancy does not nearly cover the need. Most of the needy are hiding out there and are not even counted in studies that set funding for Mental Health Facilities. It is not easy to find these folks but we must try. Since we put these poor folks out into the street years ago, the situation has steadily declined. The recent killings just emphasize the need for action.

One year after surviving Katrina I was laid off from LSUHSC, having worked in the Medical Education department for years, and forced to look for a job elsewhere. Now I'm far from home and a day doesn't go by that I wish I where there.
