And I think we need to have a much more inclusive behavioral health system that doesn't discriminate against people who are unable to engage or doesn't exclude people with physical health diagnoses.

We need an integrated system.

And so I would encourage your listeners to help wake people up.

And we need to get to a point where you talk about destigmatizing, but we need to stigmatize physician responses like that.

We need to stigmatize behavioral health systems that exclude people who are unable to access them due to the severity of their diagnosis.

So we need a lot more intolerance of systems that have lack of access, of responses that don't acknowledge the reality of a situation.

And until we have situations where people are automatically peer reviewed for not prescribing or recommending substance use disorder treatment.

where people are automatically peer reviewed for inappropriately dismissing people who are clearly unable to live safely in the community.

I think until we can get to a point of both governmental accountability and healthcare accountability, we're still going to see problems.

So we need a lot more people who do podcasts.

We need a lot more investigative journalists who are holding people accountable and asking questions to the government and publishing it.

Because I think people want accountability.

People want to know that their systems are addressing the problems they see before their eyes.

And I think journalism is one of the main ways that can cause change.

So much of that, I mean, obviously the number one cause of homelessness is lack of housing and housing is health care in many instances.

And also housing alone often isn't enough for some people with the most severe mental health diagnoses, the most severe addictions.

And so we need a continuum of housing support.

And I think we need to be a lot more flexible about what people need and what is provided in localities.

And I would say get involved.

So in San Diego County, for instance, we have a behavioral health advisory board.
