Hi Todd!

I can see how volunteers can help mental hospitals run more efficiently.

Psych nurses and psych techs are overworked and overburdened with routine things that could probably be handled by a volunteer, leaving them more time to spend with patients.

That's just a guess. And I'm not sure about how much access a volunteer would have in a psych hospital to help in such a way. But it's just a thought.
