Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

Instead of going to the negative, let's go to the positive.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

In the time that you've been there, what have you seen that's gotten better?

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

Yes, that's awesome.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

I think that's just great what you're doing.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

Now, what does Virginia have for AOT laws?

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

I think that's a subject that's pretty important across the country.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

So I guess the big question is how do we bridge that gap?

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

I know some people that have taken their loved one to a psychologist.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

They didn't know exactly how to handle it.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

So they didn't take them on because really they were afraid to take them on.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

There are people out there that are very qualified, but yet they're still very afraid.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

So how do we bridge that gap to make it better for everyone?

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

Okay.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

Do you have a lot of people that reach out to you with issues that's going on within their family or with some loved ones?

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

They just don't know how to handle it.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

How do you approach that?

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

And then how do you get them feeling hopeful for something positive to come out of the legislature?

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

Yeah, that's tough.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

I hear that from every legislator I talk with.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Creigh Deeds: How A Virginia Senator Turns Grief Into Behavioral Health Law

Yeah, and I don't know how you do it.
