Mental Health Care System Dr.P Rep Murphy

Rep. Murphy's interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, mental health system is "embarrassing" and "immoral"

empower the hand and hearts and wills that battle with the bodies ills and wage Thy Holy War

So sorry Dr. Parveen has to fight so hard to do the right thing for client-patients which she is dedicated too sometimes she seems like the only one except Paula.

He made it clear that responsibility was his alone. “No one associated with [WikiLeaks] pressured me into giving more information,” he said. “The decisions that I made to send documents and information to [WikiLeaks] were my own decisions, and I take full responsibility for my actions.”

eg they gave me money and position trusted me to do a job for all clients and i refused to do it erics salaryt funds from county council art galleryt space radner and grant money fed government

someone mentioned at Arlene Gomez' going away party on oct 9 that he appreciated being able to say good- bye to arlene because so many people have left and we are never told.

Keisha Johnson and Nikki Lak, just found out left a month ago was it because if keith??

a stalinesque purge of all the staff that really care about clients list the types of abuse of those that are left

Inspection left off question about if satisfied with the way St. Lukes/Cornerstone handles grievances.

Susan Wilkoff asked if there 4 1/2 years if I was with threshold or slh i had tried to make complaints about housemates and sw for about 5 years would not call back few occasions very rude and stonewalling believe i mentioned her in my complaint about beth vonief and csa trying to get me to move where i would lose my medical care grateful to rep van hollen for helping me on that occasion so many people quitting need to look into reason the bad old gaurd with their croniesm good at in fighting but not interested in helping clients nikki lak was so good so was jessica concern about clients missing teeth stews so they could chew easily

Would you just look the other way?

no mechanism to ensure that independent investigations are conducted of allegations

Ive been reminded of the Serenity Prayer this weekend.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

The courage to change the things I can,

And the wisdom to know the difference

Love is that which enables choice.

Love is always stronger then fear.

Always choose on the basis of LOVE

a hectoring manner

Dr. Parveen did not know the backstory on the horrible things eric has done to me for years. She rightly would concentrate on my physical health it was up to my therapist not to guide me away from talking about the terrible things her friend and college mr gordon did to me

tell Eric Gordon if your deeds can't stand the light of day, don't do them.

if people try to complain about eric and not wanting to be implicated in his off the wall decisions and susan wilcox has been blockading these complaints she is not doing her pivotal job to protect clients

why did she try to cross examine me if i get you the contact info on one of the consumers on the board what will you say to them i mentioned several times that there needs to be more than one way for clients to complain that does not involve a gatekeeper why is the consumer info top secret said to her canard about consumer privacy that easy to get 3 digit extention at cornerstone consumer advisory committee

stop trying to tell paula et all what a trauma it was and tell the bd of licensure

ask librarian how people become board members and the difference between investors non-profits

tell rep Van Hollen how much admired his telling pepco to spend money on repairing infrastructure and less on profits for investors

if not a certain percentage of complaints bd license will know throwing them away or that w has been stonewalling so badly that clients can't get through why does sw not want clients to be able to contact consumers on the boad because she knows a number of clients will come forward who have had their complaints blockaded or not acted upon.

clues if expect clients to do their job and that knock down drag out fight to get fake apology from that permanently enraged man who has done so many horrible things to clients - see if bd of license and congressman van hollen and murphy can tell them the minimum respect that clients deserve and that is not feeding

christians to the lions

should go back to using the word patient

what evidence based means bullying and driving people to being non-functional when they could be functional or to suicide or to starving oneself no one notices Dr. parveen did

dr p said to remember good things eric did bean soup recipes annapolis we are not giver uppers but everytime did someting nice for me immediately regretted it and had to do something nasty never knew from second to second which personality dealing with or what would set him off or how to defend yourself when he did go off and how far he would go out of control when his mask of affability dropped and the rage was clear and on the loose. And I am supposed to demand an apology for the unspeakable things he did to me. Clueless the program mgrs and utilization spec need some further sensitivity and common sense training inmates not clients used up for other peoples' carreers

whati could have offered no interest in helping bad housemates pitbulls encouraged

why are so many people quitting lack of funds or corporate attitute to clients patients?

no cleaning supplies for house inspection monday david did not show up to collect money and buy supplies melissa does not want to do it ourselves last month only bought two things changing from $10 to $5 not a good idea

Nikki Lak and Christina taylor quit back story meetings both scrubbed and scrubbed for house inspections

Betty's physical problems no help not even with filling out metro access amanda has been gone a long time no help with organizing or partnering with betty for house cleaning starving herself so depressed at the scraming at her elder abuse where is that nurse josephine another fraud contract montgomery general should have the number of times betty has been to hospital for her leg and eye too confused to tell doctors or keep track chicara not much help to her or betty just yelling at or since i objected pshing and pushing with no practical help shoes thrift store push for independence what it relly mens

rcs do seem terribly overworked even more so in the pst

grnby house such poor planning who owns cornerstone who is responsible what is the board resp for and why do they not have email addresses so clients cn contact them with problems since willcox has failed to do her job for so many years or is that what the board wants her to do why not to take the time o solve address problems before they become as monstrous as eric's mime mockery covering lteath with lips and the very violent painting placed in my eyeline describe the black wedge shape knife or razor at the right of the woman's slashed throat needs more black for contrast to draw my attention to this painting willcox and frye trying to minimize recognized melissa's way of expressing herself when will these frew cahnges talke place the 12th of nevr will suggestion boxes be locked with only prog mgrs with key so eric can't squelch complaints at that level

why the pride of talking about levels not involved with susan saying eric was going on leave then ....might see him in hall no response to the staring every few minutes changed mind about nature of meetings and who would be there treated me with out respect when I was too afraid to look at eric

cost that man his job eric cost me and other artist there job and took a whole lot more fom them emotionally for years

hounding did not mean dr p wilcox deliberately calling Dr. Parveen parveen as insult in meeting last wed

no listening skill training she did write it down but will it be any more than that cupping hands exhausted so agreed to let them take care of it sw said investigation is what we do why has eric been allowed to reach this point and duane using internet class he is suposed to be teaching as his personal cell phone call time mw said many people complain about dwayne why are the uppe lvels not aware way of expressing self we are at different level maybe they should come down from their level and look at what is going on esp since sw is suppsed to be handling complaints the back and forth about whether they have anyone an expert in client rights

This is a truly scary scenario that the government is putting forward. Clergy have a long tradition in America as chaplains--those who can help victims and survivors talk through their shock and grief at the scene of a disaster. Many clergy went straight to lower Manhattan in the wake of 9/11 to help with just that--other clergy went to Katrina-ravaged gulf coast for that purpose.

Most clergy go through something called Clinical Pastoral Education before getting approved to be ordained--I did this. It meant serving as a Chaplain in a hospital for three months, where I and other students learned some of the major tenets of pastoral care in a crisis. One of the PRIMARY tenets is that you don't even DARE to convert anyone--you help victims/survivors by making space for them to talk and actively listening to them. You don't talk at them or try to comfort them with trite platitudes or government-vetted Bible passages. The Red Cross and other groups have list of trained chaplains of many faiths they can call on during disasters to provide this kind of listening and presence.

My sense is that only the most conservative clergy would buy into this very different obedience scheme from the US government. There's been a lot of clergy and church bashing in the comments above, some of it deserved, but it's also valuable to remember that religious faith is one of the things that has historically helped people RESIST government oppression--think of the civil rights movement in the US, and of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the other clergy who plotted to assassinate Hitler.

The Bush administration has tried to co-opt religion for election strategies, for its "faith based initiatives", for its hateful anti-gay messages, and now for enforcing obedience during martial law. This is despicable.

Levels and the Ivory Tower

come down from the ivory tower esp since both supposed to be helping with grievances helping clients to communicate with upper mgmt

Grandby House no transportation asking people in neighborhood for rides taken to Fenton House and Southport Day Hospitalization Program so could use public transportation housemate mw said Grandby House people would steal their food at Fenton since they would be there all day asked why Grandby house could not reimburse from their food mw just shrugged. emergency vehicles all hours of night mw said that fenton was in neighborhhod but the people there didn't complain mw mentioned a recent gazette article about the complaints from neighbors where grandby is located why didn't mgmt think of transportation issue before leasing or building this outpatient emergency house?

such mismanagement people are quitting in groves Arlene Gomez head of Bel Pre Cluster just sent a letter that after 9 months she was quitting. Christina Taylor said that Arlene had moved from Pennsylvania when asked when she would arrive that arlene had to sell or close up house and pack to move down here. When I asked Megan Grout for a flowchart 7 or 8 months ago from today, July 24, 2015 Megan said she doubted it would be of any use because so many people have quit. Megan, one of the last good RCs, quit a few weeks ago.

Christina talked about wild meetings (run by keith ellis, supervisor) don't think she would have quit as a sort of apology for bailing out on me 2 days before the meeting with Eric Gordon to discuss our differences nov 2013 - she had pressured me for months i told her repeatedly that i was afraid of eric, bouncing off walls, talked so fast couldn't understand and he would expect immediate answer, ct said that he would just have to stop talking so fast and i was worried that if eg pressured too hard there would be a backlash to me and other clients, this implies that ct and maybe others from bel pre pressured eg to be nice to me and the fact that she bailed indicates that his response in meeting was so scary that ct didn't want to go.

nikki lak was wonderful, said she was praying for job when the bel pre opening came thru, they said she was going back to school as reason why she quit,

Amanda quit after talking about the pressure she was under to get betty 67 years old to perform, take showers clean, betty has trouble bending down has called ambulance at least ten times in the past few months has terriible physical problems forgets to ask doctors things her new rc chicara very abusive, no one will get betty fthe form for metro access or call n ride just tell her she used to take bus, betty often cannot lie down for weeks because of pain in leg, very swollen feet, huge bunion, cannot get into her shoes and she said she cannot ride the bus barefoot sometimes too ill to shop went a week without eating and the next week or so would not of eaten if i did not put a plate of food in front of her but have food stamps myself and limited money no one of the rcs care when i tell them these things, keith bought her food once, just a few things.

What happened to the nurse josephine who was supposed to coordinate somatic care of clients less than a year ago nosy questionnaire then never heard from her again, keith asst supv just tells jokes when i ask him, pam the receptionist at southport said recently they only have a nurse to give injections her name is latoye never heard of josepnine but might be at one of the other locations have asked most of the rcs who say they will look into it but no anser my liver problem blood vessell ortho surgeon concerned last spring still have not had ct no one concerned to help david standing me up wek after week finally have new rc who shows up but forgets things

Megan so professional and kind the old guard some were great they are gone the old gueard that is left doesn't care except dr parveen

meeting HOW SUSAN WILKOFF HAS MISHANDLED MY GRIEVANCE this time and before Congressman Van Hollen should still have a copy of my grievance about losing health care if i moved to HUI about a year and a half ago where i mention Ms. Wilkoff not calling back or stonewalling and very rude the very few times returned my calls about filing a grievance she is the only gate keeper -- um ---crossexamined me if i get you the contact info for a consumer on Board what will you tell them ---canard about consumer bd member privacy all need is extention at southport or other clinic locations to not have to give out consumer phone numbers.

Was CAC ignored and disbanded? Things would not reach these monstrous proportions, gerda spraying lysol in food barrie meeting maybe you don't belong here if you have criticisms if someone had been doing their job handling problems in a timely manner instead of stonewalling

broken faith with letter acknowledging receipt of complaint and 10 day letter telling of what action will be taken or reason for delay, asked arlene gomez 3 or 4 times when she emiailed my complaint to ms wilcox on sept 11 to ask for a letter in ten days, when keith ellis emailed to set up meeting at diningroom table showed him the copy of the grievance procedure and he looked at it while texting ms. wilcox when setting up meeting for oct 2 the previous friday called ms wilcox and asked her about the letter i was suppsed to receive in 10 days and if they needed to investigate further if she could put that in letter that I believe is the law since all grievance policies have this section so clients are not kept hanging but slh employees are used to being able to break the law at will, who is going to stop them, ms cho, president has never returned my calls in the past, ltrs are also suppsed to be sent updating client on progress of grievance but i have not received any letters whatever from sw utilization mgr for over 5 years after a month after sending complaint

exit interviews at least a computer program inexpensive less so than losing so many employees after expensive training are there employees chasing good staff away because they don't liike the way they or clients are treated?????

What happened to Consumer advisory committe was that just for show also

eric would never have goten this bad if someone, ms. wilcox, had been doing their job for the past 5 years and more.

librarian can't find email for chairman of the board do the not want to know about serious problems

asked meghan for flow chart and she said so many people are quitting it would not be up to date

no one can make them

dwayne ---david did not show up for housemeeting again monday 6th

did not call

Melissa Willard said i guess dm stood us up again made appt for thurs

but not calling to cancelling waiting and waiting cahanged from 4 would show up 530 changed to 3pm showed up at 4 30 we have inspections did not buy adequate supplies last month and we need supplies this month and inspection date changed from 23 to 15th in past rcs have helped told would call dept of aging is chicara didn't quit berrating betty who has trouble walking much less scrubbing kitchen without papertowels and old oiliy sponges and no working mop for months and dry swifters

Most of the people who live around here are not indigenous and usually work for the government. They drive around in over sized vehicles, eat out all of the time, and continually tell you how great they and everyone they know is. If you do not join a clique, then they will drive you into oblivion.

It is all about networking and back stabbing around here. People also think and talk the very worse of you and spend a good deal of their time conceiving of ways to humiliate you for their sadistic pleasure and career enhancement. Quite simply, one could imagine Dante writing about this area in one of his proposals as to what Hell was.

Rep. Murphy's interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, mental health system is "embarrassing" and "immoral"

F San Francisco

Remove barriers to getting care for the mentally ill

Tim Murphy

Published 5:38 pm, Wednesday, September 10, 2014

At the invitation of many members of Congress, I've been visiting communities nationwide as part of efforts to fix the many problems plaguing the nation's mental health system.

On Friday, I will be in California at the invitation of Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Turlock (Stanislaus County). What I anticipate hearing from families, law enforcement and providers, sadly, will ring all too familiar.

Since beginning my investigation of the mental health system investigation in January 2013 after the tragedy in Newtown, Conn., I've received thousands of calls, e-mails and letters chronicling the impossible hurdles faced by families seeking to help a loved one get effective and appropriate treatment, and the ripple effects felt by the community at large.

Parents describe how federal and state laws prevent them from getting an adult child with serious mental illness into an appropriate treatment setting. Instead, they must helplessly watch their son or daughter spiral downward.

Police officers explain how, despite not being medical specialists, they routinely respond to patients in acute psychiatric crisis. Under an overly restrictive legal framework, police cannot get someone with serious mental illness transferred into acute psychiatric care because that individual hasn't yet expressed homicidal or suicidal intentions. Although clearly in distress, the patient ends up deteriorating and, because such people are not in treatment, communities grapple with surging homeless and prison populations.

We face a simple proposition: Do we help those who, as a result of their illness, are unable to make the decision for themselves about seeking care, or do we instead allow them to become so ill they pose a danger to themselves or others?

In no other discipline of medicine is care denied to a patient when, because of the very nature of their disease, they can't voluntarily seek help on their own.

We don't deny treatment to a stroke victim or a senior with Alzheimer's simply because they are unable to affirmatively articulate their need for care. Yet, in cases of serious brain disorders such as schizophrenia, a chaotic patchwork of laws prevents us from acting even when we know that we must.

Patients with serious mental illness have the right to get treatment especially when they are most vulnerable - when they are unable to understand the gravity of their condition and cannot voluntarily seek help.

It is upon this fundamental belief that I am advancing the Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act (HR3717). My legislation honors the legacy of President John F. Kennedy by building upon the strengths of his groundbreaking community-based-care model. The bill also meets the needs of those requiring more intensive inpatient medical care by ending the critical shortage of psychiatric beds that has resulted in overcrowded emergency rooms where patients in distress languish for days or even weeks on end.

The legislation would:

-- Allow families to work with patients' doctors as part of a front-line care delivery team;

-- Increase funding for research to better understand the underlying causes of neurological and psychiatric conditions; and

-- Train law enforcement on intervening when responding to a seriously mentally ill patient in crisis.

The bill also provides incentives for communities to adopt assisted outpatient treatment programs such as California's Laura's Law to help the 1 percent of the 1 percent with serious mental illness who are likely to end up imprisoned or living on the streets, where they suffer violence and victimization, and cycle in and out of the emergency room without family input or support.

Meeting families, public servants and community advocates across the country who must fight a broken system and a brain disease has given my work tremendous purpose and meaning. I marvel at their strength and courage, refusing to give up when every door is cruelly slammed shut in their moment of need.

With these families' help, we will bring those who have been living in the shadows of despair into that bright light of hope, and it starts with the Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act.

Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa., a psychologist, is chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. Murphy's Friday morning appearance at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco is sold out. To listen to streaming audio, go to www.commonwealthclub.org/media

I've had cops take me away in conjunction with whitecoats, and I did not deserve it. I went peacefully. I chatted them up. I demonstrated my sanity. I resented the whole situation no less. What am I supposed to do? Seek revenge? This is it, then. Seeking and spreading taboo truths. So, yeah: "Come and get me, cops." I'm guilty of nothing.

Anything unjust done to me will backfire on them culturally, legally. They would have to kidnap me secretly and send me to a black prison in Dubai or whatever, create some cover where I spontaneously decided to walk the earth, occasionally sending tweets on my adventures. Because anything else -- murder or disappearance or harassment or battery or legal persecution -- would simply expose their agenda.

If you're the guy who every day calls the local police chief a corrupt monster, and after a while that local police chief gets sick of it and has you arrested, beaten, tortured, jailed, disappeared, and/or killed, then the local police chief has merely confirmed the accusations you were making against him that he wanted to dispel in the first place. It's a no-win position for them, in almost every iteration, as long as the object of persecution realizes it, and perseveres long enough to turn the tables.

Turning the legal table, suing the bastards, which is still quite possible, because, believe it or not, this is still a nation of laws, and if it weren't then why would the creeps ever bother trying to rig things? Turning the journalistic table, discovering and revealing as publicly as possible every suspicious and unsavory thing about your persecutors, which is a big part of what this board does.

Turning the cultural table, in the sense of becoming a pressure-building cause celebre. (Although one wonders how much support a non-violent hero would get from the left...would non-violence be sexy enough, macho enough to the contemporary left? It had better fucking be.)

Point is, yes, the cops have license to traumatize us.

Yes, the system is rigged to prevent such cops from being held accountable.

But bad cops like that and the bad system in general are still vulnerable, vulnerable to the law if you can make a flawless case, vulnerable to the truth if you can get people to hear it and it's not spoiled by any other conscious or unconscious biases, vulnerable to The People if enough of them complain loudly enough and assemble in large enough groups, merely assemble, that's it, just show up, no impotent discharge of violent impulses, no indulgence of narcissism, just showing up, and asking "Why? Okay, why? Okay...why? Okay. But. WHY?"

This applies to me, you, everyone here, everyone at OWS, everyone at MoveOn, everyone in the marginalized authentic corner of The Tea Party, everyone who f... Ron Paul, everyone in the ghetto, everyone in the trailer parks, everyone who works, everyone who can't, everyone, everyone, everyone.

No one should ever have to walk alone.

No one should ever have to endure abuse and oppression and then fear, "What if no one sticks up for me?

What if no one even listens? What if this outrage is never exposed?

What if these bastards are never penalized and stripped of their authority? What if it's just...hopeless?"

No. That should never have to be feared.

But, well, it kind of sucks if the good people who would otherwise have your back are already gloomily resigned to an ultimate worst case scenario and so no longer can muster the faintest vapor of hope as fuel for the courage to do something clever or at least say something bold or even just think of a way to defy victimhood. Fk being glum and passive and hopeless.

Stand up to bullies in a way that undoes bullying itself. Fear not.
