If there's one thing that I think should change and people should be familiar with, I think not all access should have to come through a hospital.
I think oftentimes the only way someone can get to a skilled nursing facility is through a hospital, and it's difficult to do community placement.
In California, it's difficult when the majority of counties limit access to conservatorship to only a hospital setting.
And if the person is chronically unable to live safely in the community and they may end up
repeatedly cycling through the emergency department, through the jail, and never make it to an inpatient psychiatric unit.
This happens with people who are connected to AOT.
It happens to people who are connected to assertive community treatment, wraparound mental health teams, and they're never able to get to the right level of care because access to a higher level of care has been restricted to an inpatient psychiatric unit.
I wish that people would focus on how government can place hospitals as a barrier between the person who needs help the most and the governmental entity that's mandated to provide them that care.
I think it unfairly places hospitals and burdens hospitals and leaves the person cycling through the system.
I think what gives me the most hope is that people are getting sick and tired, and they're speaking up.
The pendulum is swinging away from neglect.
towards an awareness that there is a population that's not getting served adequately or at all by our current systems and that we need to course correct away from a system that has been only designed for people who are willing and able to access it.
And I think people are starting to recognize the need to also care for a population of people who lack awareness into the severity of their diagnosis due to anosognosia.
And I would say we need access.
We need beds.
We need places for people to go.
And we need not only new laws, but we need our current laws to work.
And we need to make sure that there is effective oversight to make sure that they work.
Not in depth.
Yes.
