The State of Mental Health in Iowa

If it seems like everything is being blamed on "mental health" and...that's because it is. Everything from mass shootings to domestic abuse is being blamed on folks with mental health issues. And, what is even more stunning, as you heard in our news story today, the demand for mental health services is growing. If all of this is true, and you know it is, why are we not funding mental health care at the level of need? It's a good question and it's what I asked Peggy Huppert from the organization NAMI-Iowa. Take some time and listen to the problem and what may be a fix.
