HOW DID PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH BECOME SEPARATED?

Coastal Behavioral Healthcare

HISTORY

1950 – 1960: Most people with mental illness were living in asylums.

In the 60s: Due to John F. Kennedy and advances in medical thinking, changed from institutional care to community based system.

1980 – 1990: Number of people living in tax funded institutions was reduced by 50%.

Today: Approximately one-fifth of the 1950s number reside in institutional care.

PROMISES MADE AND PROMISES BROKEN

Money was intended to follow consumers into community programs. This didn’t happen.

Employer paid insurance had no reason to pick up the bill. Most didn’t.

Operating two systems: state and community. Never had enough money to fund both.

Community based mental health system has always been underfunded.
