The Montana Suicide Rate Reduction Council.

                       Founded in Missoula, Montana. August 06, 2021. 

Hate the fate. Reduce the rate.

TIMELINE: December 15, 2021. Since day one of our founding, the issue of unqualified health care officials has been central our concerns. Media now reporting that this is huge problem in Montana today, and people like Zoe Barnard and Karl Rosston are very much on agenda. At the MT State Hospital, Craig Fitch, who likes to call himself the "patient's lawyer" while knowing that he works for state interests versus patient interests. Clinical administrator Jeff Pluge tried to defer our founder from reporting the issues that led to federal intervention at MSH, and this is merely a scratch the surface perspective on the broader reality. But the fact remains that all of them have been party to allowing this nature of crap to go on. At this juncture in time, MT kids are committing suicide at 2X the national rate, and we are currently involved in working with parents who have lost their children to suicide in Montana. Child safety is clearly not important to these people, and for this, they should be sent out packing.

Local news coverage of late: 

October 31, 2021; "MT kids report a high rate of sadness. Suicide experts find real solutions elusive." The most elusive thing going on is the language of the state's so called suicide expert, Karl Rosston, who again and again engages in deferring and deflecting anything suggesting change. Any cursory review of the man's language proves this, and the fact of the matter is that, this man's language is defeatist and engineers hopelessness. Hopelessness is a driving factor to all things suicide and a very well known feature to depression, loss, and anguish specific to losing loved ones to suicide. Any mental health professional knows these things, and herein Rosston's absurdity and lack of relevant qualifications is really evident. It's just that bad.

Karl Rosston
17 years as MT's suicide expert.
The main guy and his performance
is no better than the performance
of his many predecessors.

Over the better of the last century.
No change, no improvement.

December 09, 2021: "40% of positions open at hospital. Administration is blamed by workers." The same precise issue that led to federal oversight and intervention in 2017, systemic shortages in staff posing undue risk to patients and direct care staff. MSH administrators didn't care then, and they clearly don't today; ergo, these people have all been party to these issues, it's just that plain. To the extent that lack of qualifications are at stake, the last time this happened, Zoe Barnard herself traveled to Warm Springs from her stall in Helena as means to explain the issue away to staff,  sought to diminish the significance of this intervention, and in doing so, directed blame onto MSH nurses. Thanks to her, several MSH nurses resigned from DPHHS in the days immediately afterward. They were put at risk in that matter, no the bureaucrats in the DPHHS construct, and her language that day was fraught with mistruths. And today, "Staff members have left in droves because of self-inflicted issues created by MSH management approach."

Zoe Barnard
Highly unqualified for health care.
Administrator, bureaucrat.
Proven speaker of mistruths.

This is a process, nothing more, nothing less. But our stance has remained the same, that these people need to get the hell out of the way and let actual medical professionals handle these matters. We foresee at this point more fallout, and we intend to contribute to that to the best of our given ability. People who weren't listening in August, 2020, are now being brought to account for failing to do far better. 

This is all we ever asked for, and now it's happening. But as a process, there's more to come, that's irrefutable in every way.
