Commenter: suffer from mental illness

I hope you never need services
 

I have a mental illness and am fortunate enough to have private insurrance, I have worked in the mental health field for many years and have seen first hand how having services for folks have given them a life most of the people who are being served have no family and few friends. Part of the MHSS helps the clients to get all of their needs met including socialization and getting their medical care as well. I myself have been depressed and have isolated and withdrawn myself and have been so far gone that I did not think that I would return The difference is that I have family and Insurrance. The folks that these services are about to be taken away from majority of them have no one but their MHSS workers.PLEASE RECONSIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
