Severe Mental illness 

4% of the US population suffer from severe mental illness,

50% of this population suffer from anasognosia

A direct link of untreated severe mental illness and violence

have clearly been established  the consequence of untreated severe mental illness

 without question both socially and economically go beyond calculation  

 

1999 a California treatment advocacy formed 

Assembly woman Helen Thompson  bill was finally signed by Gray Davis

marking the largest reform made in decades.

Fashioned after New Yorks kendras law

  1421 also known as Lauras law passed in California

 This law brings hope and treatment to the severely mentally ill.

And yet it cannot be used unless it is implemented in your county.

Why would any county withhold treatment .

Kendras law is proven sucessful as the numbers of hospitalizations 

incarsaration and homelessness have reduced significantly.

Then why with every school shooting every death and lost life 

making every county implement this law should be a no brainer right?

Guess agian we live in a society where money that is printed on paper

 has become more valuable than saving human life ? Maybe insurance? maybe civil rights?

A guise supposed to protect and actually does the opposite incarrsarates.

Enough is enough     Lauras Law now
