Editorial: Impacts of mental health crisis could expand

Editor’s note: This is the second of a two-part editorial. The first part appeared Monday. The sudden curtailing of admissions to state mental hospitals sent a “shock wave” through the entire system, said state Sen. Emmett Hanger, R-Augusta. That wave is expected to spread to the law enforcement system and exacerbate an already difficult relationship between policing and mental health. Unfortunately, many patients enter the mental health system through the doors of local police and sheriff’s departments — often literally. When people experience a crisis so severe that it endangers themselves or others, law enforcement often is called. And if hospital beds can’t be found for these crisis patients, what is the alternative?

Vaccinations begin as virus continues to rage in state mental hospitals

Northam on Va. vaccine rollout: No question that we need to speed the process up Virginia has begun vaccinating employees and geriatric patients at state mental hospitals against COVID-19, which has forced four facilities to close admissions because of ongoing outbreaks of the virus. The state is administering the vaccine at eight behavioral health facilities — including the Virginia Center for Behavioral Rehabilitation, a facility in Nottoway County for civilly committed sex offenders — while a federal partnership of national pharmacies is vaccinating staff and patients at four others. The Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services has supplies to vaccinate its nearly 5,500 employees, as well as 271 geriatric patients, either by the hospitals themselves or the national pharmacy partnership with CVS and Walgreens.
