We are often asked what the "P82" stands for in "P82 Project Restoration." It comes from Psalm 82, verses 3 and 4, in the Bible: "Give justice to the weak and fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the… instagram.com/p/B03WinGAZdp/…

One of the greatest gaps in the continuum of care for individuals living with serious mental illness is access to long-term supportive housing.
Kenny’s Home is P82s’s first permanent housing initiative designed to address that need.
As renovations and preparations begin, we are launching the first phase of fundraising to help prepare the home for residents.
We are so thankful to receive a matching grant from a generous donor who believes in this vision. Every dollar donated will be matched up to $10,000!
This is an important step toward creating a practical, replicable housing model that prioritizes stability, dignity, and long-term support.
We are in early stages of remodeling and developing the program. To learn more or donate, go to p82homes.org/kennys-home

You can abolish the DSM tomorrow.
Schizophrenia won't get the memo.
Society would be better off without modern mental health system.
Just eliminating DSM classifications & drug treatments would decrease prevalence of mental illness.

In honor of World Schizophrenia Day, I’m sharing recommended reads. This one is for the church. I was reluctant to read, shame on me, because I knew the tragic outcome. But I’m glad I persevered because it is an honest account of what families face. Now I call @SimonettaCarr my friend and I cannot wait for her next book to be published soon on same subject.

In honor of World Schizophrenia Day tomorrow, here’s why those on severe end of spectrum can’t get help. It’s NOT stigma, NOT the evil psychiatric industrial complex, it’s NOT SSRI’s, it’s the Federal Government’s refusal to strengthen the safety net.

A THREAD 🧵 HOW DID WE GET HERE?
The day Decarlos Brown Jr. crossed paths with Iryna Zarutska on a NC light rail train ended in tragedy. Minutes later she was dead.
This was not an isolated event. It was the outcome of decades of broken policy on serious mental illness.
The IMD Exclusion is one of the quietest rules in Medicaid law yet it has fueled homelessness, incarceration & tragedy for decades. This thread traces how we got here & why it must end.
