Look no further for an example of the vast societal and personal good a health clinic for addiction and mental health can do than Kitsap Mental Health clinic in Bremerton. Through diagnosis, ongoing treatment and support, they saved my sister's life. Stricken with severe schizophrenia, without KMH my sister was one of those screaming pushcart people you see on the street. You know, the ones bringing the property values down, scaring business owners and pedestrians.

They brought her off the streets, gave her mental and medical therapy, gave her skills and found her an apartment.

The citizens of Sequim and of Clallam and Jefferson counties should applaud and support the clinic, which will restore people to productive health and provide jobs for the area.

Fear of the disabled and the the stereotypical bogeyman of The Addict is no excuse not to listen, learn, empathize with your fellow citizens in need, and support them.
