Advocate for Serious Mental illness. I love my brother who recently died, blind, with schizophrenia & homeless due to our failing mental healthcare system.

If our brother, Mark Rippee, does not fit the criteria for being declared legally, "Gravely Disabled," in the state of California, then no one does.

It shouldn’t have to be this hard to keep access for people to get treatment for mental illnesses in hospitals, in a country that SAYS it prioritizes good mental healthcare.

We need to have insurance companies pay reasonable reimbursement for inpatient psychiatric care.

A common story: Some are just too sick to know they need treatment & families need to be their voice. We need to start listening to family’s experiences if we are to set up a system that no longer fails those with severe mental illness #MAPOLI #BOSPOLI https://t.co/yF6UF8FDIY

#FamiliesLikeMine will be protesting the closure of 18 psychiatric beds in Santa Clara County this morning at 11 a.m.

It is time for #California to stop promising a "no wrong door" approach while closing the right doors for medically necessary care.

[Linda L. Mimms, MA Public Policy Duke University @LindaLMimms]

Join the campaign to #SaveThe18Beds in the acute care psychiatric unit at Mission Oaks Hospital. We cannot afford to lose even one bed in CA when we have a severe bed shortage for those in crisis with serious brain diseases. @CAgovernor

@DeborahGeesling @EricDias13 @TravisGrantham @Livingston4AZ @JustinWilmethAZ OMG! He works for NAMI?

[Catherine J Rippee-Hanson @RippeeHanson]

A flickering light can be seen in the distance leading #FamiliesLikeMine out of a long, dark & lonely tunnel. That light is held by @SenSusanEggman of CA who lights the path for those who need change now. Let's ensure her plans don't get lost in the dark. #RIPMarkRippee #PassSB43

1/ “There's a crisis of serious mental illness and homelessness in America that's about to explode if we don't take the necessary steps.” Good read & relevant to changing the status quo across the country. #MAPOLI #BOSPOLI https://t.co/icQjGvdxB7

Thank you @SigridBathen for this important historical context showing how we have managed NOT to Care for #FamiliesLikeMine in #California.

We are no longer waiting for permission to speak. We are #PartnersInCare and we are on the march. @noonecaresfilm

[TAC @taccommunicate]

#SMI affects 8.8 million people in the United States and yet almost half do not have access to treatment, despite models like #AOT being effective.

Read more about the uphill battle that seeking treatment for those with #SMI can be: https://t.co/RJNQ0IlmWa
