Intersections CCH

Watching the little mental healthcare infrastructure, we have in the United States be privatized, looted and burned may not be surprising to those of us who have been paying attention, but it is sickening and distressing. These systems have never been safe but we really must think and build outside of them to meet the needs and maintain safety of providers and clients alike.

And yes, it is concerning is that all of this is coming in tandem with calls and attempts by the government to decrease access to medicine and care for mental health in favor of forced incarceration and work camps. I do not think it is an accident that all of this consolidation will help reduce barriers for the federal government to get access to data about service providers and users at a time where they are constantly overreaching to try and get records about dx and treatment particularly involving reproductive and trans care.

Collective Care and Resistance are vital.
