"We have entire counties, like the vast majority of them, that do not have one mental health professional."

- Robin Reedy, Executive Director National Alliance on Mental Illness, Nevada, explains people have to go to Reno, Las Vegas or Sacramento to receive care, adding that if someone is under 18, they’re likely heading further because “we’re that short of pediatric care in mental health in this state.” She says having professionals, housing and fair access to medication are the primary advocacy issues.
