It is very difficult it is for people with mental health issues and/ or addiction to get to a place of accepting help because they don’t always realize they need any help at first. we need more help / training and resources for the families of these people who can have a big influence of getting them the help they need and also have more trained workers dealing specifically in this area . how else will these problems get any better? look at our streets! nobody wants to live like that people are sick it all starts with mental health issues and then top that with the cost of living this is a huge problem that has not gotten better with what has been tried so far .We need to get people and their families mental health help earlier or these problems are going to continue to get worse
