The Obama Plan -- Spending Mental Health Money in All the Wrong Places
"Allen Frances.
The Obama administration proposes investing $235 million dollars into a new mental health program for our schools that is meant to increase the safety of our children and prevent future Newtowns. The money will train teachers and masters level mental health professionals so that they may detect early signs of mental illness in their students.
This well-meaning program is a serious mistake for two reasons. First, it is no more than a politically correct, cosmetic solution that distracts attention from what really needs to be done. Second, it will likely wind up doing much more harm than good for the kids who are identified as being at risk for mental illness.
I really can't imagine the content of the training programs. There is nothing to teach -- no proven way of detecting early signs of mental illness in children and no proven way of preventing it. Predicting violence is like picking a needle out of a haystack. The rarity of the event makes accurate identification simply impossible."

Last I checked all the school shooters were already psych labelled and put on drugs with side effects that include suicide and violence.
Like here on http://www.ssristories.com
I do not see the logic in this ?
I need to find an article that claims this is a good thing and see what they are thinking. I wonder what the pharma front group NAMI has to say about this ?
I will be back.

Now this,
'"While we applaud President Obama's budget proposal, it doesn't come close to restoring the drastic cuts in funds for mental health services that have been imposed over the last several years," Robert Cabaj, M.D., chair of the APA Council on Advocacy and Government Relations, told Psychiatric News. "In particular, billions of dollars for these services have been cut at the state and local levels, and even if the federal programs proposed in this budget do get funded, it will still leave a huge funding gap, and closing that gap will require extensive advocacy work locally as well as nationally."'
Here is more of that.

And a regular news link
“We have to tell Congress it’s time to strengthen school safety and help people struggling with mental health problems get the treatment they need before it’s too late,” Obama said in a speech on gun violence Monday night at the University of Hartford in Connecticut.
Even as congressional Republicans continue with their demands to shrink the federal budget, the Obama administration believes that now is the right time to pursue these new spending commitments."

This would make sence the other way around if undrugged kids did school shooting but all the shooters were psych drugged already !
