The Montana Suicide Rate Reduction Council.
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 behold, the noose was still there, in an area with a frisbee golf course that people walk by everyday.
The state of Montana has less than 25% of the mental health care services required by federal standards, which costs as a forfeiture of millions of dollars of the citizen taxpayers in the state. More critically, this also is a direct influence as a causal factor to a wide range of otherwise preventable tragedies. Exemplified most obviously by the state of Montana's suicide crisis, there are myriad other impacts that harm the citizens of Montana. That some of these tragedies are unknowable, this only reflects the degree to which this abject lack of access to mental health care services has created a highly unsafe, even dangerous state for anyone to live in. Anyone, in that not only are mental health services limited, rather, all types of health care services in Montana are only provided to minority of our citizens.
This provides bright line evidence to the MSRRC message: Montana is the most state dangerous state in the US for someone to live, raise a family in, send a child to college, etc., if suicide is the issue most at stake. This, in addition to myriad other dangers caused for the same reason, disproportionately distributed access to health care services.
As to lack of proper qualifications, MT has a social worker who tells us, "I have a hard time imagining us ever having enough mental health services", despite being the one Montana health care official entrusted to oversee our suicide crisis, when the overriding reality is all types of health care services are not accessible to our citizens.

| Zoe Barnard. DPHHS Administrator |
Evidence has emerged in fairly weeks proving that DPHHS is fraught with unqualified health care officials entrusted to act in those positions, which defies the reasonable expectations of the public. This this includes a number of persons employed by DPHHS and assigned to work at the state mental hospital, this is no kind of surprise. Americans affected and disabled by mental illness have long been provided the least of anything resembling reasonably optimal care services. While here in Montana, DPHHS willfully exploits this fact to no end, and the applicable evidence includes the fact that at this very time MSH is being subject to federal oversight and intervention for the second time in five years. 100% consistent with exposures in other state managed public health care systems, DPHHS' consistent responses every time the attention is directed towards them those responses have been utterly pavlovian, the same knee jerk responses, denials and rejections of the truth.
