Ok, I'll give it a go.

First step is to stop making hospitals the main entry into getting treatment. Start thinking in terms of what is scientifically viable not just approach MI with drugs, but look for a holistic whole person solution. Cover more alternative choices( that cost less and treat a person as a person rather than an illness) form like minded groups for those that need a social aspect to healing, ie more social groups for higher functioning people with MI. Cover talk therapy, and other none drug treatments as a first choice before using drugs. Gym memberships and transportation should always be offered. Just becouse someone does have a car doesn't mean they are going to be able to get to treatments if they are in a bad place.

Stop calling us clients....does anyone call cancer patients or those with disabilities clients instead of patients? I believe this change has lead to a negative change in how MI is seen by doctors and others especially in a hospital setting. They don't see a person they see a series of negative symptoms that need eliminating, not a patient needing treatment and care.

Need media headlines that are positive and informational not just pointing out the tragedies. Most people with MI are victims not doers of evil.

Help to find decent housing and jobs without penalizing. If someone is trying to work don't take away healthcare or suport. A job, full time, part time or occasionally is not going to magically cure a MI.
