Garcia: Like Judd, the Center for Health Care Services is fighting the stigma of mental illness
Country music legend Naomi Judd, here on April 11, 2022, at the CMT Music Awards, died Saturday of"the disease of mental illness," according to her family. She was 76. The country music singing legend was overwhelmed with feelings of depression and anxiety. She also was overwhelmed by the stigma of mental illness, which left her afraid to talk about her suffering.
Ten years ago, Judd confronted her mental-health challenges, overcame the stigma and, with the support of her family, got professional help. In the mental-health industry, there’s a challenge to provide all the services needed by patients. Then there’s the equally daunting challenge of connecting people with those services — making them aware of where to go and who to contact. And convincing them that it’s a good idea to access that help.
One positive development is that the city of San Antonio has committed to allocating $26 million in federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act to mental-health services.
