Episode description as stored
Send us Fan Mail We sit down with former Maine State Senator John Nutting to talk about why serious mental illness belongs in the medical system, not the jail system, and how court ordered treatment can keep people alive and communities safer. We walk through Maine’s Progressive Treatment Plan, the fight to fund and implement it, and what families can do to push for mental health legislation that actually works.  • John Nutting’s background in public service and the case for treating brain disorders like any other medical condition  • What Maine calls AOT and how the Progressive Treatment Plan works in practice  • Why anosognosia changes the ethics and logistics of “voluntary” treatment  • The gap between family needs and what policy often delivers  • How cycling through hospitals and jails destroys bed capacity and budgets  • Lessons from other states, including Kendra’s Law, Kevin’s Law, and concerns about voluntary-only models  • What separates real legislation from bills that look good but fail in implementation  • Concrete ways to advocate, find your state laws, and speak to the right lawmakers  If you know someone who has a story to share, tell them to contact us at why notme.world. One last thing spread the word about why not me.  INTRO/OUTRO Music: T.
