A statement from the CLT Network in response to the current violence. “We are appalled by the violent terror being visited on communities across the country by a tiny minority. They don't represent this country, and we express our deepest sympathy and solidarity with those harmed by racist violence and intimidation. “As we see in the community land trust movement, and as we have seen in the cleanup after rioting, most communities want to come together to take their local area forward, not sow division to take back some imagined version of the past. Our vision of community is inclusive of everybody who lives or works in a local area, and when the full diversity of our communities come together wonderful things can happen." *** We encourage anyone whose mental health is impacted by this violence and intimidation to seek support from Mind, Samaritans, or any local or culturally specific community mental health support services.

Mental health is one of those “silent” and “unseen” issues. Not only in the community but also in the workplace. It is okay to say you are not okay, but it is even more difficult when one cannot even realize there is something deeper going on. It is not an illness, but it can do greater harm not only to one self but their loved ones and peers as well. I am glad this is being addressed more now than ever. It is not being glossed over, hidden or being covered by mere medications. #mentalhealthawareness #communitywellbeing #preventingsuicides
Community mental health needs addressed Broken Arrow Police and Fire Departments are taking a collaborative approach to resolving emergency situations for people suffering from mental health and substance abuse issues. Beginning July 1, care coordinators from Family & Children's Services and GRAND Mental Health will be embedded with first responders. "Embedding these care coordinators in both our agencies will help because they can connect our citizens with the needed services,” Maj. Stephen Garrett, BAPD, said at the City Council meeting on June 16. The need is great. Last year, the departments received 590 mental health crisis calls. Specifically, there were 301 residents taken into emergency protective custody, 92 overdoses, and eight suicides. For more, go to https://lnkd.in/gPj7Fp9A

No one chooses homelessness—circumstances do. When affordable housing is out of reach 🏠, when escaping violence seems impossible, or when mental health issues go untreated 🧠, homelessness can feel like the only option. By addressing these root causes, we can help prevent people from reaching that breaking point. #HW2024 #EndHomelessness #SocialImpact #MentalHealthAwareness #AffordableHousing #CanaCommunities

Chief Executive Officer at Kandell Essential Care (Community Triage Center & Home Health Care)
It's concerning to see a project in Clark County, with the potential to benefit the entire population, face obstacles due to lack of official support. The delay in funding for this essential initiative is disappointing, hindering progress for the community's well-being. The focus should be on embracing ideas that serve the greater good. #CommunityDevelopment #SupportLocalInitiatives Questions arise as Las Vegas City Officials allocate $320 million for a stadium, but refuse to assist with the $9 million required for mental health homeless and substance abuse support project. Whose really Prioritizing community needs???
