                The Montana Suicide Rate Reduction Council.     Founded in Missoula, Montana.  August 06, 2021.   Hate the fate. Reduce the rate             _____________________________________________________________________ There is no excuse for protecting the names of each and every public official behind these problems.  The patent if not sociopathic behavior within Montana Department of Health is benefiting from poor local to Montana news reporting.  Cleaning house, as it were, requires more than just a feather duster. There will be far less chance of any improvement if Montana media continues to act in the way that they are.  But bad actors are just not acceptable, and they must not be allowed to get away with thier shit. This is a scourge upon the very intent of good journalism,  not providing the public reasonable full disclosure of establ...

  The Montana Suicide Rate Reduction Council.     Founded in Missoula, Montana. August 06, 2021. Dateline: March 08, 2022. Of liars and sycophants.   Hate the fate. Reduce the rate.                  ___________________________________________   For the record, you can't capture progress. Progress is not some sort animal to be put in a cage. Progress must always be process oriented and have a distinct focus on actual improvement as a product of that process. Any failure to validly embrace progress for what it is will only lead to more problems. Just as we are seeing yet again at MSH today.                                                Good actor defined. Dr. Polly Peterson. Speaks the truth. Is ethical. Bad actor personified. Dr. Marla Lemons. Administrato...

                    The Montana Suicide Rate Reduction Council.     Founded in Missoula, Montana.  August 06, 2020.   Hate the fate. Reduce the rate ___________________________________________ The direction that the suicide crisis is in Montana was made readily available in recent months. Kids, our kids, our  neighbors kids, children for God's Sake are now committing suicide at 2x the national rate. On behalf of our children, thus, much must be done. You got that Rosston? You got that Meier? It was bad enough to know that MT was already the most dangerous state to live, raise a family, send a kid to college in if the issue of suicide in at stake. Now it's going this direction, and there can be no denying one day more that our suicide crisis is being  overseen by a man who is doing just as badly as did all of his many predecessors over the last century.  ...

  The Montana Suicide Rate Reduction Council.     Founded in Missoula, Montana. August 06, 2021.   Hate the fate. Reduce the rate ___________________________________________ This will be brief. To the extent that the state of Montana may be taking more seriously the extent of DPHHS's general lack of qualified health care officials, in attendance with the newest development specific to  Care Coordination for Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs), it cannot be taken for granted that such measures will actually much good in the state of Montana. Such r ecent attention to these issues are a direct result of the work of  The Montana Suicide Rate Reduction Council.  We provided our data to many people over the last 15 months, and while it's fair to look at it as a snowball effect, these developments are one result of our work, to date. The process as it plays out will continue to be the focus of work.  It may be...

  The Montana Suicide Rate Reduction Council.    Founded in Missoula, Montana. August 06, 2021.  TIMELINE: January 05, 2022.  Hate the fate. Reduce the rate. Below are some recent  statistics about MT's suicide crisis. Some discussion about safety in Montana, lack thereof, that is; and health care officials unqualified to work in our public health care  system. In terms of health care in Montana, safety seems to be the last thing our state government cares about. Off the bat, mention will be made of the state hospital in Montana. The first impression  is an illusion of a pleasant countryside setting; but in fact, very dangerous.  No fences, and an active railroad track running right through the middle of the patient grounds. In 2017, an MSH patient set up a wire noose in one the many trees on those grounds, only to be discharged a few days later. Upon return some 6 weeks later, lo and beh...
