These people can be diverted to other places, and most always, the legal system will never see them again.

How can we get that put in place?

Yeah, and I heard, and I can't remember where I heard it, that decades ago we had X amount of beds, and it seems like each decade the beds are getting smaller and smaller in availability.

And because of that, there are no facilities that are able to take the people that actually need the help.

Then because of that, they find ways to put them back on the street.

So they wind up living on the street in a homeless shelter or unfortunately incarcerated.

We have to find a way to educate these people.

A lot of these people are, of course, our representatives, the ones that are elected and serve to help our communities.

It seems like it's a vicious circle to get them to understand, kind of like it's a vicious circle, that churn podcast that you just mentioned.

Yeah, that's very tough.

Without some sort of AOT, some sort of safety net, what do we do?

Many times you will hear stories of people getting picked up by the police, taken to the hospital.

Then the doctors say that he's not a threat to himself or others at this point in time, so their hands are tied and they can't do anything.

It's sad that their hands are tied because they may not be a threat to themselves or others at that point in time, but give them a few hours, a few days, or whatever time frame, and they could be.

We need to find a way to help these people so that they don't wind up in that type of situation.

Yeah, I totally agree with you 100%.

So in closing, we've covered numerous things here, all very important topics.

So this is a very broad question, one that might not have a perfect answer, but it has to be asked.

So what do we do?

We have many of the things that we talked about, plus the things that you brought up.
