[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were promised wraparound services for our kid with mental health issues, not criminal justice issues, but you know what? There weren't any providers to be had. Or you'd find someone and they'd be there for a month and then quit. We officially "had" wraparound services for years, and only saw a dozen or so hours of services actually show up.[/quote]

That stinks but it shows that relying on the state is a big risk.  [/quote]

I am not the PP, but I wish the Council would pay more attention to mental health issues. They pretty much glamorize homelessness, without acknowledging the underlying mental health and substance abuse issues. Talk about avoiding the root causes, but let's hand out comfort kits in all the bus stops and feel good about ourselves!. They should provide better services to District residents, and involuntarily commit those in crisis who refuse them. They should never have sold off DC General--it could have been converted to a large capacity, state of the art facility.[/quote]

Agree, and this is a good critique of the mentality of all the “social justice warriors” running the council (and DC) at present.[/quote]
