Man jumps from halfway-house window in Encinitas Ranch
"Usually, people in halfway houses can get whatever they want whenever they want;the challenge for them is to not to." There goes that stigma again. JavaJoe these homes are woefully underfunded. Food is locked up.This is not a resort. There are many types of halfway houses. Usually it is a house where people are stabilized on medications before going onto permanent housing, some go back to their jobs, some go back to the street. A halfway house is not a house full of convicted felons. Convicted felons are left to their own devices and do not usually qualify for assistance.There are exceptions, however rehabilitation has not been on the prison system radar for a long, long time. Funding to help convicted felons has dwindled to record low numbers.— February 8, 2013 9:05 p.m.
Man jumps from halfway-house window in Encinitas Ranch
This is the why people with substance abuse issues and mental health issues are the repeated victims of stigma. A young man in severe distress jumps out of a window and automatically he's a criminal. I have lived in these types of homes, while I was concerned about acquiring an HIV infection or hepatitis infection from sharing utensils (I took precautions) my fellow housemates were all suffering and consistently medicated. We were not criminals. We were human beings with dreams, aspirations, education and illness. http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/feb/0…— February 8, 2013 1:08 a.m.
Sidewalk makeover at College Blvd. and Alvarado Rd., at SDSU
This is a good thing. In our automobile centered society I often see those in automobiles as completely isolated from the reality of those like myself who use the sidewalks for all of my travel. Every day is a day I may be hit again by a driver not paying attention. Cars sold as luxurious are like a universe unto themselves. If I were hit again I doubt that the driver would even feel my body roll under the wheels.— February 8, 2013 12:57 a.m.
Are you a morning person or a night owl?
I flip between night owl and morning person. I guess that's why they call it bi-polar.— February 8, 2013 12:48 a.m.
City of Chula Vista sued by woman who fell as a result of a broken City sidewalk
Our culture is so dependent on automobiles that the idea of walking anywhere has become an anomaly. How dare this woman expect to walk in her neighborhood. She should have been driving a car.— February 8, 2013 12:02 a.m.
thoughts on mental illness and corporate control
You have made a valid point. The stigma of mental illness has permeated my entire life. It makes me sad. I once held so much promise.— February 7, 2013 11:55 p.m.
