Stanislaus County Superior Court to be in for a 1.9 million dollar grant for Mental Heatlth Court, bit of an item like Drug Court. In case you didn't know, your mental health dept. does the drug and alcohol stuff too. A couple things.

My friend Geary Oreglia does this every year, during National Mental Illness Awareness week, which falls the first week of October. He's a pastor at Mable Avenue Church, used to be a partner in what was Kingdom Koffee, lead support groups for family members, taught the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill class Family to Family, and a compassionate fella,, seeking to help. Here is the event.

This one is on mental health services, many of which have been curtailed by the County Board of Supervisors, with the closure of clinics in Ceres, Oakdale and Patterson.

I do advocacy and awareness training volunteer, and this subject is on a new service, long asked for by menttal health clients and families, The Warm Line, contract going to Turning POint, and includes hiring of clients with jobs, needed for their well being, as well as those that call in.
