With the astonishing numbers of teen suicide deaths in northwest mo, I would like to see a mental health facility open in Saint Joseph Mo. With society the way it is going with all the social media, I feel we will continue to see a rising number of adoliscent with mental illness. I my self have a teen who struggles with mental illness. With 3 suicide attempts, we were forced to travel out of town to find a hospital to help her through her struggles. I'm sure if there were options here in Saint Joseph we would see more involvement with the kids getting the help they need.

Living in St Joe and having to drive to kc for help is just to much when things are critical. our kids deserve better than this.
