I do not know much about psychiatric services but Massachusetts opened Community Crisis Stabilization (CCS) units which are ER’s for mental health issues.

I believe they’re staffed with nurses, social workers, and nurse practitioners and are open 24 hours per day.

And that ONE isn’t fully staffed.

How do you propose to open more when there’s what one psychiatrist that treats both the hospital and the prisons? When they can’t get enough techs or RNs to complete shifts? When NH bought Hampstead almost everyone qualified left for better paying jobs in Massachusetts.

If it weren’t for these lousy republicans, libertarians would run the state. Damn republicans!

I met him at a yard sale in Newfields a couple years ago, he’s just a good guy, and a good dad.

I’m not bitching about the majority of NH voters. I’m bitching about the people in this sub, a fringe minority.

Part of the reason we use worse materials is because the colder climate and more snow rips the roads up faster. For our altitude we get about the same amount of snow as northern Sweden, which is absurd to think about.

If you're not from New England, buy some Fluff and peanut butter and make a sandwich. Then buy ten or so more jars of Fluff and share them with folks back home.

Most of these patients don't have anything medically wrong with them they need psychiatric help so medically cleared doesn't mean anything. The patients that I'm talking about going to jail are the ones that are trying to cause harm to themselves cuz that's the only place where they'll be able to be restrained.

Hmmm... a teacher lacking critical thinking skills. Not supporting Sununu here, or you, but your bubble is very very small. Turn off the TV, get off face book, drop a little acid. You can do better.

NH mental health is absolutely awful. Ask me how I know. My fiancé is a NP in mass and knows how the system works in mass and nh and told me NH was the last place to go for mental health. When I had my own issues (December - January 2022/2023) I drove to Massachusetts. Emerson was able to get me in quickly and had great programs.

Sorry Charlie it's called The Green Door and it's in Las Vegas lol

The Old Salt in Hampton

Pull yer head out. The city gets tax revenue on $700k value as it sits. Pass on that for 3 years to tax $30mil forever? I wish I could get that deal.

This was presented to the abutters specifically as a "company town" two years ago. One parking space each, on a road that really can't handle traffic as it is when schools start/get out. The fluff pieces that have come out are trying to make it seem like they are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, when in reality it is to further line their pockets.

​

The "community building" is a 2 bedroom ranch that's already on the property.

​

It's gonna be a shitshow.

Then there's comparison with roads outside the US...

"European highways actually carry more traffic and considerably heavier truck weights than U.S. roads, yet they are smoother and far sturdier. European highways are designed by their builders to last 40 years; the projected life of American roads is half as long."

Yum!! Wood soup is the best soup

Perhaps the judge will require the state to allocate funds necessary to support the needs of patients, based on plans offered by the community health houses.

This is where the mental health care system breaks down. There is not enough care at a variety of levels. You can not send someone who needs intensive treatment to an outpatient therapist and expect anything good to come of it. It is so, SO broken. No one wants to fund anything appropriately. Most people do not understand what is even going on. It is a dumpster fire.

The current system is total horseshit. Patients can stay in an ER for weeks or months without hope of a psychiatric bed. While they wait, outside practitioners (current therapist, psychiatrist, etc.) are barred from participating in the patient's care. If the family decides the ER stay is exacerbating whatever mental condition the patient is being held for, discharging to return home removes them from the wait-list for a psychiatric bed.

Scream louder. Then think of the democrat gerrymandering victims in IL, NY, NJ, MD, CA (off the top of my head).

I doth think you protest too much.

A little History for those who want to view more a NH history of psychiatric hospitals

No, it’s just I literally do not care and the fact that it’s 80% of this sub is both tiring and ridiculous. We get it. You like weed. Can we do like maple trees and wild animals instead please? Thanks lol

So if nothing happens what is the judge going to do? Put state workers in jail?

Either you’re an uptight Christian conservative, or ignorant on the subject. They both overlap
