@komo4seattle: A years-long effort to examine Washington’s involuntary treatment court system has produced a set of recommendations aimed at improving how people in behavioral health crisis are evaluated, treated, and supported after they leave the system. King County Prosecuting Attorney Leesa Manion said the work began as an unfunded two-plus-year project, and she credited those involved for staying committed. 🔗 in bio for the full story. #komo #komo4 #komonews #seattle
Pray for the clinicians, burn out is real, pay them more and improve trainings/systems

The blame rests either corporate greed. Hospitals want higher rates of reimbursement. Psych diagnosis do not pay as high as chronic medical conditions like heart , kidney, diabetes etc….

the system is broken, we have a massive homelessness, mental health and addiction crisis nationwide. we need more options, we need more funding for aftercare placement, we need to restructure the financial guidelines so that more people qualify for services to prevent them from becoming homeless to begin with
