MIND TALK
The condition of mental health reform in the State of North Carolina has continued to decline over the past several years. Legislation to divest the public mental healthcare system has created chaos on an already over-burdened system. Services have been cut and consumers have become the victims who suffer instead of receiving quality psychiatric treatment while lawmakers move slowly to repair what they broke in their reform efforts. This section will bring you the latest news and reviews on what is happening with reform and debacle in the mental health care system locally and across the state.
