Mental health services

It is top management & politicians that mishandle the money and the people suffer the most. We will be judged by how we treat those that are less fortunate. I've worked with adults that had social/developmental disabilities to live independent lives. It was a very rewarding job but pays very little-just above minimum wage-could you live on that? I had to find another job that paid more. The adults I worked with went to college, work, lived on their own, socialized, just like we all do but they face greater challenges. As long as my people had assistance some needed it every day others weekly. They all need assistance or they have difficulties that can lead to danger or being taken advantage of. I believe all politicians especially Gov. Perdue needs to work on a regular basis with these folks to truly understand what they have to live with & also live on the salary that mental health services pays to their staff that work out in the field.
