In hearing about the report released yesterday on the Sandy Hook shooting, (prior to the shooting) Adam Lanza would have met current criteria for an intensive mental health service in Virginia called Mental Health Supports.  As of Dec 1., someone like him in VA will not meet the new criteria because he had not been hospitalized in the past 12 months, and was not living independently and probably could not realistically move out of his mother's home within 6 months.  Mental Health Services and providers CAN make a difference and do make a difference. This criteria in VA for this intensive and very effective service is being changed to mainly save money and to make it nearly impossible for young adults to access the service (also to save money.) Please change the criteria in order to allow more young people access to this much needed service.
