It sounds nice. We certainly have issues with mental health in all of those situations.<\/p>\n<p>What we don&#8217;t hear a lot about are the details, specifically, about what happens when the treatment resources don&#8217;t exist to meet the need. We may not think we are rounding up unhoused people and putting them in jails, but where do we think they will go when there aren&#8217;t enough treatment options? That&#8217;s going to include a lot of kids escaping abusive homes. Other kids end up hanging around the ER waiting for treatment if they aren&#8217;t in a penal facility already. Plenty of others remain in dangerous situations while they and their parents stay and search for somewhere to get treatment.<\/p>\n<p>In short, we can&#8217;t talk about how we&#8217;re going to solve homelessness, addiction, youth mental health, etc., while also cutting the programs that already fall short of being enough to treat everyone who needs it.<\/p>\n<p>The result will only be people piling up in jails, prisons, and other facilities that are harmful to mental health, not helpful.<span hidden class=\"__iawmlf-post-loop-links\" data-iawmlf-links=\"[{&quot;id&quot;:30,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.npr.org\\\/sections\\\/shots-health-news\\\/2025\\\/08\\\/15\\\/nx-s1-5502689\\\/pediatric-mental-health-er-boarding-jama-health-forum&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/web-wp.archive.org\\\/web\\\/20250929170143\\\/https:\\\/\\\/www.npr.org\\\/sections\\\/shots-health-news\\\/2025\\\/08\\\/15\\\/nx-s1-5502689\\\/pediatric-mental-health-er-boarding-jama-health-forum&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2025-12-01 01:55:22&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2025-12-16 01:44:30&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2025-12-21 03:26:56&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2025-12-28 06:32:55&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-01-02 21:23:58&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-01-11 00:02:24&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-01-23 23:45:59&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-01-28 00:49:32&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-02-16 11:09:18&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-02-26 09:33:50&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-03-04 18:10:52&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-03-12 02:05:02&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-03-18 16:29:27&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-03-24 19:51:11&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-04-03 05:42:15&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-04-08 15:26:09&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-04-15 10:42:55&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-04-21 07:28:56&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-05-03 15:02:51&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-05-10 10:53:10&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-05-14 09:10:53&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-05-18 16:40:32&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-06-10 15:54:43&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-06-15 17:31:26&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-06-20 15:45:59&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200}],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-06-20 15:45:59&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;}]\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div><span class=\"kt-load-after-post\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What we don&#8217;t hear a lot about are the details, specifically, about what happens when the treatment resources don&#8217;t exist to meet the need.
