Needless to say, that the mental health of our communities has long been neglected. We are now living in a time when people are actively seeking the help they need, but cannot access that help for various reasons. We need mental health services to be easily accessible for families and individuals. Medicaid expansion will go a long way in meeting this goal. However, we must require all health insurance policies to cover mental health services, from addictions to trauma. Everyone deserves a chance to heal.
