Iexperienced a number of gaps in our society and in our healthcare system - the accessibility andaffordability of multidisciplinary treatment, lack of transitional treatment post-crisis care orhospitalization and a lack of exposure to the practical life-skills of impatient therapy. These cameclosely tied to an endless stream of failures, in a society where mental illness was and continues torapidly devastate the lives of so many individuals and families.Once a dream for recovery, this blossomed into a dream to make change.”
