Unfortunately as a society we have turned our backs on these people. What can be done to get these unfortunate souls the mental health care they need. Of course the answer is not what’s going on in big cities where homelessness is out of control by enabling their drug and alcohol addiction. Can they be legally ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation? It is a very delicate situation and I am not a trained mental health specialist but maybe a mission to take care of and train these folks to gain employment might be an answer? I just don’t know.
