5. We have a very serious Mental Health Pandemic in Ca and I dare say the rest of the country

My 14 year old granddaughter will be entering a Residential Treatment Center today, not by court order but by seeking out on our own a place she could get the help she needs and found a mental health center staffed with highly qualified team of psy hiatric and medical professionals in an environment that is safe and healthy, and is actually covered by Kaiser and othrt Insurance Carriers.

We hope her recovery begins today. Not everyone has insurance and it's just fortunate we found this facility by chance. Fortunately, she/we hadn't had to deal with courts, as this didn't involve police or other law enforcement matters.

I think we need this and is way past due.
