It’s time to show kindness to our most vulnerable fellow Americans who are living on our streets, most of whom suffer from mental health conditions. Of the homeless, 82% report having a mental health condition interfering with their ability to work or to be creative about securing housing. Without addressing mental health care, homelessness cannot be solved. Solutions for mental health demand a long-term approach and thoughtful planning. We therefore need to secure federal government funding for dedicated mental health centers with as many as 1000 beds outside every major metropolitan center. These centers would serve all Americans, ranging the full spectrum of citizens including the disadvantaged to celebrities, who struggle with substance abuse, mental health stressors, hopelessness, and suicide. Such an approach at a federal level has yet to be formulated. We need to rethink the mental health care center of the past and make centers where all the expertise needed to heal the mind are present in a pleasant and inviting atmosphere that is welcoming to all of our children, adolescents, and adults regardless of socioeconomic status.
