It is clear that in today’s world, every level of government should have a strategy for dealing with mental health issues that exist within each community.
The town government itself may not have sufficient programs or expertise in dealing with a resident who is experiencing a mental health crisis or situation.
I intend to create a Mental Health Forum in the Town of North Hempstead for the purpose of generating an ongoing discussion amongst town and community leaders along with advocates and experts on how our town can provide comfort and guidance to those who are experiencing or dealing with mental health issues.
