The 'Tristin Murphy Act' Bill Filed in Florida by NSSC Member

Member Cindee Murphy continues to advocate in Florida to improve outcomes for those living with Severe Mental Illness/Serious Brain Disorders. We applaud Senator Jennifer Bradley for filing The Tristin Murphy Act and hope that her leadership on this issue will start a movement. We are grateful for Jim DeFede and his continued news coverage of these critical issues. Here is the link to the full segment on CBS News Miami.

Tristin's son Cody said it best, "As a 17-year-old, I have to wonder what kind of world I am growing up in that would treat someone so broken so badly."

Mental illness is not a crime; as a civilized society, we should not be treating our most vulnerable this way.
