@themarkup @jonkeegan @STAT This hotline has been terrible since its launch. Armed cops responding to mental health calls, amateur and incompetent advice from hotline staff, etc.
WHEN are we going to learn that involving the government in mental health care almost NEVER goes well unless your government is Actually trying to support mental health? Our government regularly demonstrates that the mental health of its citizens is Not a priority. That's doubled for every marginalization.
