Society is gradually becoming more attuned to people in mental health crises, and the common lack of resources to help them in a hurry.
We take up the issue in this month's edition of Mental Health Matters, our collaboration with the Southern Oregon chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
A NAMI-Southern Oregon rep visits, and we bring in Rick Rawlins, who manages Crisis & Therapy Services at Jackson County Health and Human Services.
We get an idea of the need for crisis services, and the capacity of the current system for meeting those needs.
