I believe Rep. Murphy's Bill H.R. 3717 - The Helping Families In Mental Health Crisis Act, ensuring Psychiatric Care for Those in Need of Help the Most, has the fix for all problems found in the Oversight and Investigation report.
I have experienced the problems sighted with my consumer peers, working for a Community Mental Health Center and as a field organizer for NAMI, National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Solutions driven by evidenced based care include:
Empowering parents and caregivers by revising the HIPAA law,
Addressesing the shortage of inpatient psychiatric beds by changing the cap of beds per unit from 16 to 32,
Giving alternatives to institutionalization,
Reforming the Department of Justice jail diversion programs,
Reforming the accountability of the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) by instituting a new oversight position reporting to congress
Goals include:
Reaching underserved and rural populations,
Stabilizing beyond the ER
Advances critical medical research
Provides high quality community behavioral health services,
Increasing awareness in the behavioral health needs of children and teens,
Integrate primary and behavioral care,
Increasing physician volunteerism.
That's why I created a petition to Jean Williams, NAMI Oklahoma/Edmond North-OKC, The United States House of Representatives, and The United States Senate, which says:
"The Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations revealed the approach by the federal government to mental health is a chaotic patchwork of antiquated programs and ineffective policies across numerous agencies. Representative Tim Murphy, PhD [R-PA-18} has the fix.” Please support (H.R. 3717) The Helping Families In Mental Health Crisis Act, ensuring Psychiatric Care for Those in Need of Help the Most.

Can I ask one more thing from you? No, No, I don't need money, contribution or donations. I need for you to forward this e-mail to your list of contacts. We need nation-wide coverage as the Subcommittee on Health has scheduled a hearing on Thursday, April 3 at 10:30AM in 2322 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, D.C.
Thank You!
