Opinion: Corey Jackson: California has a mental health crisis, it’s time for Sacramento to take action
The mental health crisis in California must be addressed. Families are being torn apart, with loved ones lost to addiction, self-harming and other mental health-related tragedies. According to research conducted by Let’s Get Healthy California, suicides are now the second leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults ages 15-24 in California. Enough is enough.
Despite the clear need for increased mental health services, California’s mental health system is underfunded and understaffed. This shortage is particularly acute in rural areas, where access to mental health services is even more limited. We must ensure that mental health services are accessible to all, regardless of income or ZIP code. We must break down the barriers that prevent individuals from accessing quality care and support.
