Teen Attempts Suicide

Our hearts go out to the family of the young person who attempted to commit suicide yesterday. Our question is: "How long will we allow our Governor and State Lawmakers to ignore the needs of our families for mental health and alcohol and drug treatment services."

Tragedies grab the headlines but this needless pain and suffering experienced by our neighbors, our families, and our friends can be reduced and even eliminated by investing in treatment services that save lives.

Please stand up and stand with us as we tell Governor Strickland, Representatives Huffman, Hite, and Adams and Senator Faber that behavioral health services in our community are vital to our health and well being.
