Teri,

I want you know how much I appreciate your speaking up and out to the community.

Your voice is important.

If there is not treament for those of us who suffer with mental illness, than so much pain and hurting will continue.

Treatment helps!

Thank you for caring,and I am glad you will continue to speak up.
