The Homeless mentally ill : no longer out of sight and out of mind by
Rebecca Craig(
Book
)
4 editions published between 1985 and 1988 in English and held by 17 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The homeless mentally ill, numbering approximately 300,000 persons, are a group neglected and forgotten by society. While deinstitutionalization promised a bright future, the necessary, long-term support to implement deinstitutionalization never materialized. Government policies have helped produce problems that encourage recidivism and homelessness. A model of an integrated and comprehensive system of general and specialized services for the mentally ill includes outreach; assistance for basic needs; adequate mental health care; crisis assistance; comprehensive psychosocial services; rehabilitative and supportive housing options; back-up support, assistance, consultation, and education; recognition and involvement of natural support systems; establishment of grievance procedures and mechanisms to protect client rights; and facilitation of the use by clients of formal and informal helping systems. The success of a program based on this model requires leadership, improved financing, and better coordination among service providers. Without facing squarely the task of providing adequate services for individuals with mental illness living in the community, states can expect continued problems with homelessness. Policymakers and providers should focus on improving community mental health and rehabilitation systems and improving the emergency and transitional shelter network for the homeless mentally ill. (Specific programmatic and legislative responses of the states are included.) (ABL)

The mentally ill offender : punishment or treatment? by
Rebecca Craig(
Book
)
4 editions published between 1986 and 1988 in English and held by 16 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The problem of mentally ill offenders is discussed in this report. Mentally ill offenders are described as generally not violent, with their behavior resulting in charges such as shoplifting, vagrancy, and trespassing. Factors increasing the number of mentally ill offenders are discussed, including the inability of families and communities to handle the deinstitutionalized mentally ill population. Problems the mentally ill face in incarceration without mental health care are also presented. Seven guidelines for improving the status of the mentally ill offender are presented, including increasing the number of psychologists and psychiatrists working in prisons and studying creative funding measures. Specific state laws impacting the mentally ill offender are presented. Five local exemplary programs are summarized. In a discussion of future trends and implications, it is noted that jails are bearing the burden of deinstitutionalization. Suggestions for system improvement such as conservatorship and mental health/law enforcement personnel linkages are made. A case study of Michigan is presented. Sixteen references are listed. (ABL)

Mental health services for children and youth : strengthening the promise of the future by
Rebecca Craig(
Book
)
5 editions published between 1986 and 1988 in English and held by 15 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Mental health services for children and adolescents from the states' perspective is the topic of this document. The introduction provides statistics on mental health service needs and utilization in this population, while highlighting underserved needs. The history of mental health services provision and funding is traced from isolated state hospitals, to community programs, to coordination of service systems, and finally, because of restricted financing, back to traditional residential care. It is noted that states are responsible for over 90% of expenditures. The lack of service coordination is presented. Barriers to appropriate service delivery are discussed including economic disincentives and crises orientation. General legislative guidelines for state legislatures to follow in establishing a continuum of care for children are given for the areas of prevention, non-residential, and residential services. Specific state legislation is summarized. Future trends and implications are discussed. The major implication is that children with emotional disorders who do not receive treatment grow up to be disabled adults. A five-page case study of Kentucky is presented. Ten references are listed.

State involuntary commitment laws : beyond deinstitutionalization by
Rebecca Craig(
Book
)
4 editions published between 1985 and 1988 in English and held by 14 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Involuntary commitment laws, once seen as reform, now questioned as roadblocks to needed treatment, are discussed. The ineffectiveness of state's commitment laws, lack of community resources for treating the mentally ill, and homelessness among the mentally ill are discussed in the introduction. The history of the right of a state to commit individuals involuntarily is presented. This right is derived from the power of a state to protect society from dangerous persons and the power to act as parent or in the best interest of its citizens. Four factors which spurred commitment law reform, including abuse of the power, institutional crowding, deinstitutionalization, and the move to clarify minority rights are discussed. Legislative guidelines are given, including just commitment and due process. Specific state commitment laws are presented. Future directions for commitment laws are discussed which emphasize an adaptable instead of adversarial posture for the states. A case study of South Carolina is included. (ABL)

Community care for persons with serious mental illness : removing barriers and building support by
Rebecca Craig(
Book
)
3 editions published in 1988 in English and held by 8 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The mental health policies of the past 20 years and the evidence of unserved populations suffering from serious mental illness constitute a public health crisis. Currently there are at least 3,000,000 people in the United States suffering from mental disorders. A fully developed continuum of care is needed to respond effectively to the diverse needs of mentally ill persons at varying times in their lives. Acute and crisis psychiatric care, rehabilitative services, housing, and supportive services are required. These services/policies for the mentally ill should be provided: (1) specialized services in the community; (2) community mental health centers focusing more of their resources on services to those with serious mental illness that are not provided by other community agencies; (3) sufficient inpatient beds for long-term care and forensic units; (4) intermediate level care; (5) a single local agency assuming responsibility for planning and coordinating services; (6) efficient fiscal/management policies; (7) elimination of barriers to participation of the seriously mentally ill; and (8) research into the practical problems faced by legislatures. Future service and delivery systems must be revised to meet the changing needs of new and emerging populations. The future mental health system will continue to become more decentralized and efforts will be made to access services through broad-based programs such as housing, income support, and social services. (Specific state responses are described.) (Abl)
