Sure thing. My brother needed to go to a psychiatric hospital, and of course it's very difficult to be involuntarily committed.
We got him there in the end, mostly due to the enduring support of his partner.
My lesson from that was that, with the right support, and a bit of patience, people can get the help they need.
Takes a bit of time though. I think in the vast majority of cases if we offer a job to anyone who wants one at a socially inclusive minimum wage doing work in their community, in addition to stable housing, within a few years they'll be doing better, and within a generation the negative impacts of involuntary unemployment and homelessness will be a relic of the past.
