Reform Psychiatric Security Review Board now
Christopher Lambeth is accused of the horrific murder of a fellow resident in a group home in Gilbert on April 12. There is no doubt this will spark public debate about the risks associated with group homes in residential areas, solidifying the position for Not-In-My-Backyard, or NIMBY, understandably so. The public deserves an expectation from our elected officials at the state and local levels to ensure the utmost standards of safety in our cities and neighborhoods. People living with disabilities like serious mental illness deserve to be provided for with dignity and in a safe environment.
