The 1 in 24 We Refuse To See: “Mental illness isn’t a character flaw—it’s a medical condition. And until we treat it like one, tragedies will keep happening while the public keeps asking the wrong questions.” #shatteringsilence #inspiringchange linkedin.com/pulse/1-24-we-…

Why do we treat brain illness like a behavioral choice? 🧠 People with severe mental illness deserve treatment — not jail cells. NSSC Florida State Director Jack Wood is calling for Regional Centers of Excellence for Severe Brain Disorders. nationalshatteringsilencecoalition.org/accountability… #FloridaSMI

@SAMassachusetts @IASIC3 @SenMarkey @SenWarren @MassGovernor @MassAGO @MassDems @MassDemsLatino @RepMcGovern @MABLLC @Jo_Comerford @nytimes @WhiteHouse MA has not yet recognized the need to treat psychosis as the medical emergency it is & is 1 of 2 states w/o an AOT law. Perhaps once they understand how psychosis impacts individuals, families & communities, there will be a greater sense of urgency to recognize the harms.

We really wish our Massachusetts politicians would sit in a learn from providers about the health hazards of Marijuana legalization. 😠 #MaPoli @IASIC3 is having a great presentation now! @SenMarkey @SenWarren @MassGovernor @MassAGO @MassDems @MassDemsLatino @RepMcGovern @MABLLC
