I hope and pray that I have the strength to advocate to the government and other powers that be, to create laws to provide for kind and gentle care facilities for our beautiful intelligent people with psychotic and schizophrenic disorders. A place where caring people can place them – yes, even against their will – when they are delusional and unable to care for themselves. A place that is safe, kind and provides medical care and respect while they stabilize and progress to become their own best productive self and function in society. A place where they can be treated with love and dignity. A place that is safe from harm while they are loved and cared for. Not jail, not on the streets, not an institution of the past. We, as Americans, owe this to our citizens. We are not kind by leaving them out on the streets to die or cause harm to themselves or others, just because their fragile delusional mind says that they don’t want or need help. You are worth saving. I love you.
We’re celebrating caregivers–
