The history of Western State is really interesting, I did my internship there. A long time ago it was it's own little village. Farms and orchards, bakery, animal husbandry, etc. Everyone worked to their capabilities. They found purpose and pride in their work supporting themselves with their own hands. But of course that was dismantled to divert money elsewhere. You need to be willing to pay people to supervise and teach the patients. Now they drug you and sit you down in front of a TV.
It's a beautiful campus and still has some of the village shops scattered about. If they still allow tours it's worth going to learn about working farm style, mental health facilities. Also it's CHEAPER THAN GOING TO PORTUGAL.
Ah. Animal farm. As a half Portuguese person please leave us out of your goofy leftist bs
Thank you for being an advocate for much needed change
the county I live in in Michigan gan has mental health courts. yes they work for most.however this with severe mental illness just do the court orders and after a year, they just go off medication and the process begins all over
Psychosis does not equal violent ideation.
If Oregon goes all in on fixing a problem you can be certain that it will grow exponentially
🤮 @ all the virtue signaling
