Wish list

character_glinda.jpg
Yesterday I asked everyone to send in a list of demands for May, which is Mental Health Month. Now I realize "demand" is kind of aggressive. How's about we make a wish list? Like if there were a mental-health fairy, what would we ask her to do?

Here's my wish list:
1. Insurance parity.
2. A true informed-consent policy around ECT.
3. More community housing options.
4. CIT training for all police departments.
5. An end to stigmatizing and stupid portrayals of mentally ill in popular culture.


Get the idea? So what's your wish list?
