Paula, I am not aware of NC's reform but poor mental health services is raising to national awareness.
In Alaska we can't pay new pyschiatrists enough for them to want move to the state. We have to hire ones that come for a few months at a time and hopefully return. Unfortunately many of the clients get frustrated with "starting over" with their story. Most clients can't even get scheduled for an inital Psychiatric Review for 3 months...which is horrible since most of their problems need help immediately.
In reviewing how to decrease the mass school shootings after Newtown solutions, mental health services were often mentioned as needing improvement. Unfortunately solutions in that area will take longer to determine and implement than more alternatives like more stingent background checks for gun purchases.
