Prayer Request for Mental Health Community Here
|
My previous prayer request is related to a general need for the mental health community in Portage County, Wisconsin. For many decades, the health care providers in this area have referred the chronically (or private pay) mental health clients to the free clinic, "Portage County Health and Human Services". PCHHS has lost its funding for psychiatric services and has to cut half a million from their budgets. Unfortunately, the commercial providers won't pick up the slack, despite the free profit ride from the state for decades. It seems to me they've been cherry-picking the best, more high functioning clients for years!! Please pray for the people affected by this! I'm not that bad off. I can survive without meds, and I have a car to drive places. There are others who are completely disabled, and I'm sure this is hitting them hard. Please pray for all of us. Without adequate mental health medication management, some people become low functioning. It's really hitting a vulnerable group hard. |

:LOL: Brister Bate, ladylightwalker. Sorry about that! Yes, I also have a real home.  It's just sad because people with mental health disorders are often highly productive, high functioning individuals who just need some extra support. I've thought through 2 more options for my own situation; having a doctor re-prescribe a previous (extremely good) psychiatrist's meds. The other is to go to a commercial clinic where I'm deeply concerned about being run into bankruptcy. I'm only one semester away from graduation, God willing. I'm so ready to get back to work and off this welfare roller coaster. Sometimes clerical staff are so snide when they find out you have Medicaid. I can't imagine if I didn't have the hope of climbing out of this baloney.
