We need to rethink the way community-based mental health services are rendered. No one should be calling for a return to the model of institutionalization that the US followed from the mid-1800s to the 1970s. But a purely outpatient model leaves way too many people slipping through the cracks. I don't think people fully understand the connection between the mass closure of mental hospitals in the '70s and '80s and the rise in homelessness that followed.
