I am a very concerned Mental Health Professional who finds it very troubling to know that the proposed regulations will limit clients with no history of hospitalizations, when by their receiving services, has PREVENTED hospitalizations all together!!!  So here is my short and sweet opposition to these proposed regulations:

By restricting access to clients who benefit from MHSS will mean LIFE OR DEATH!!!  This will increase isolation, increase suffering and severly impact their lives!!!!!  Let's pay it forward by providing those a better chance at life instead of paying them back additional heartache, suffering and uncertainty. 

I LOVE what I do and wake up eager to start a new day.  But, with the proposed changes, my fear is we will not have a population to provide the assistance and with that, I am uncertain if the clients we provide services to will wake up the next day with the training and direction they deserve to make it through.  PLEASE look at what is being proposed and ask yourself.....Can you sleep good at night and wake up the next morning knowing there is someone suffering from YOUR mistakes????!!!!  I wouldn't want to carry that guilt.
