Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Tim Murphy's Fight for Mental Health Reform

Well, one has to assess what your area has. If your county is not putting in, for example, EOT, it is important that people become a very strong voice appealing to the county government and accountability.

And I'll guarantee you at some point there'll be some crisis that occurs that these same parents can go and say, this murder, this assault, this suicide took place because we don't have the program.

Tim Murphy's Fight for Mental Health Reform

I would suggest that people look at the bad mom's model out in Arizona and find out the same thing. But definitely do that. And yes, appeal on the federal government because the federal government is going to pay with Medicare, Medicaid, and other grants. So let your congressman know and understand they may not know what you're talking about.

Please don't look down on them and say, well, we told them they're not doing anything. You have to make a very specific ask. So you can't say, we want you to do more for mental health. And the person will say, thank you very much. I agree with you. Let's do more for mental health. And one day that member of Congress will say, hey, do we have any mental health bills I can vote on?

Well, that's not good enough. You want to say, I need you to specifically do this. Accountability within SAMHSA. Emphasize serious mental illness. Drop the 16-bed rule. Drop the 15-day one-time admission. Drop the 190-day lifetime admission. Change the HIPAA laws. Put some money into AOT. You got to punch and punch and punch in those ways.

Don't cut the money out, Elon, but please have it in such a way that people are, that the government is asking, what did you do with the money we gave you? What did you do with it? And if that area says, well, we don't know, well, then you don't get any more. well, then we will have a problem. Then you've got a problem.
