Anderson on mental health
question:
The county has reduced mental health services over the years. Do you think the county needs an inpatient psychiatric facility for children and housing for the mentally ill?answer:
Yes. I have supported efforts to create an inpatient facility for children and believe that our efforts will result in a facility in the near future. I lead an effort to bring the valley counties together to create a joint project for inpatient services and I support the current plan to issue an RFP for these services. Housing for the mentally ill is badly needed. The County has recently joined with the Housing Authority to address these issues. With new leadership at the Housing Authority, I am optimistic about this effort.
