Mental Health Partners temporarily relocates services in Boulder
“This dismantling of the system and reconfiguring it where do you get that specific authority,” Weishan said at a recent board meeting. “I don’t have a problem with community support, but there are boundaries.” But Weishan has it exactly wrong: The current system needs to be dismantled to provide the best care for patients. And it’s not “community support” that’s needed; it’s a community-based system of care, where smaller facilities in neighborhoods provide the primary care. Yes, there will always be a need for a secure facility for the most troubled patients, but that’s still a far cry from what the county has now. If Weishan and any other supervisor, for that matter doesn’t get that, he hasn’t been paying attention.

The new unit at the University Hospital Llandough will bring together services already on site with those currently at Whitchurch Hospital in Cardiff. It will aim to deliver improved specialist mental health support and physical healthcare. Cardiff and Vale University Health Board received a grant from the Welsh government to pay for the unit. Health Minister Mark Drakeford said: “This new unit will give patients who access mental health services a sense of dignity and safety and I am pleased the Welsh government funding has made it possible.” The unit will bring together all general adult mental health inpatient services and specialist services for clients requiring low-level secure, addiction, neuropsychiatry, intensive care and supportive recovery services along with associated therapy and support services. It will have single bedrooms with ensuite facilities and flexible ward design, including access to single-sex sitting rooms and bedroom areas, garden areas and therapeutic space. A plaza area has been earmarked for a newsagent and general shops, post office facilities and a cafe aimed at helping aid social integration and reduce stigma.

Mental health system under siege
Mental Health Partners entered into a partnership with Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy to assist in the filling and refilling of prescriptions, she added. Executives and personnel also have temporarily relocated their offices to other Mental Health Partners locations until repairs are complete at the 1333 Iris Ave. site, she said. That construction work is expected to take about four weeks, she said.

Mental health unit at Llandough to be built for £88m
Where Wayne and I part ways is that Wayne believes a federal database of people with mental illnesses who have been involuntarily committed for treatment would make us safer because those people would not be able to purchase guns. Of course, he overlooks the sins of those responsible gun owners who dont lock up their guns when they arent being used making them readily available to burglars and us scary maniacs. As Adam Lanza taught us, you dont need to buy a gun to slaughter innocent school kids. You just have to steal your moms gun. What we need is free medical care for people with mental illnesses who cannot afford it.
