Right now a group of residents on the North Side is fighting to keep some kids out of the neighborhood. The reason is obvious. The kids have had problems with their home life, and some of those kids are probably emotionally disturbed because of the experience. Multiply that bunch of citizens on the North Side by a million and you have the number of people who solve mental health problems by putting them out of their sight. What they really seem to be saying is, "Let's shove them into institu­ tions or foster homes." And "I don't want them living around me." Why is it that society is afraid to accept someone when they are under psychiat­ ric care? We can help people when they have a kidney malfunction or a heart at­ tack but not when the psyche has suf­ fered severe deep-seated damage. The State of Illinois now spends $2.7 billion in public aid each year for people with medical problems. It spends $516 million for mental disorders. New Expres­ SIOn thinks those tables should be turned. Mental health is just as important as medical health, and our state funds should provide young people the oppor­ tunity to seek high quality mental health care when they need it. An estimated 7,438 teens suffer from some type of mental disorder. We oppose the actions of the North Side residents. We think those young people should be able to live in that community. We think it is important to treat mental health disorders as early as possible. Many of these health problems lead to crimes, depression, violence and suicide if they are not given proper treatment now. would help us to respect mental health tlonal changes are necessary to ap­ We also think it would be worthwhile to problems and give us confidence about proach this problem.
