Kelsey's Story: Ending Discrimination

Thank you, Rock and Linda, for sharing Kelsey's story at YESon63.org. I saw your story on the website a month or so ago, but just couldn't find the words to respond immediately. I'm so sorry about your loss, and I thank you so much for sharing your and your daughter's story.

Just this week, Garen Staglin told the story of his son's schizophrenia in the LA Times. No reason to suspect it--no known family history.

We have built a mental health constituency, thanks to the help of people like you, who are willing to come forward and tell their stories and talk about ending the discrimination against mental disabilities, and against people with mental disabilities. And we'll keep working. This is what Prop 63 is all about.

Thank you- thank you!Proposition 63 is a great victory for we who struggle to keep our loved ones off the streets and out of jail. In this we fight to have borderlie personality disorder recognized as a serious mental illness that needs to be recognized as such and given the same consideration as other mental illness in program access and treatment. Please see "Help wanted." In search of Justice
