Sadly the whole problem of mental health management devolved into two protocols. the one was institional which attracts abuse but keeps the problem isolated, if uncured. then we gat dumping them on the street which is absurd because it is an attempt to have folks clearly unable to care for themselves, actually care for themselves.
in between we have a limited application of group homes which is more of an halfway house.
what is clear is that any effort to change outcomes is abandoned and accountability becomes even mre distant.
Trump’s ready to reopen mental institutions and liberals are furious…

How did we get to a place in this country where we’ve decided that the humane approach to severe mental illness is to just leave people alone and let them fend for themselves?
If someone is living on a sidewalk, talking to invisible people, wandering through traffic, or spiraling deeper into psychosis, government intervention is now treated like the “evil” thing to do. Activists, disability-rights groups, and this massive network of NGOs have spent decades arguing mental institutions should be used only in the rarest circumstances.
And the results of that disastrous agenda speak for themselves.
Cities all over America are drowning in homelessness, tent cities, violence, addiction, untreated mental illness, and public chaos. All while billions of taxpayer dollars flood into programs that “manage” the crisis rather than solve it.
