Our mental health safety net plainly put needs serious mending. The need for services has outstripped what our third-party providers can deliver under present arrangements. And that s why the Council s Health and Human Services Committee has believed it was essential to compile a clear record on where the county stands on mental health issues. The Committee has done that. The record is clear.
Action is needed.
And stepping in will surely mean using all our resources, public and private, to meet the growing critical needs. All of us in the trenches of the fight for the better mental health services have but one thing in mind doing the right thing for Montgomery County.
