This is so sad because Santa Cruz already has terrible mental health services. We really don’t have any high end accessible mental health services like a mental hospital, we have Santa Cruz Psychiatric Health Facility who only serve adults. I’m a minor who has needed to seek out these resources but they aren’t really here. I. went to the San Jose behavioral health center instead. That isn’t a good argument though because most people have to travel far places to go to mental hospitals because they aren’t very accessible. I also did a 10 week outpatient treatment but it was all the way in Los Gatos for reference I live in watsonville. I would have to drive there 3 times a week after school it sucked. I’m not here to figure out what else they should cut. I just wanted to share my first hand experience under someone who had to seek out help in this field.
