Senator Jessica Ramos speaking on the importance of TCEA on World Mental Health Day, "It's no longer the 1600s, it's not about throwing someone in a dungeon, locking them up, and throwing away the key. There are consequences to that." Thank you @NYSenatorRamos

This National Suicide Prevention Month, let's invest in treatment, not punishment, to save lives. 83% of people in NY prisons have a substance use disorder, & about half of those in NYC jails live with mental illness.
