A mother describes her son’s psychosis and the struggle to obtain needed treatment from mental health services. She expresses astonishment and admiration for Celeste Calocane’s insistence that the system is broken, citing evidence she believes demonstrates this failure. She emphasizes the fear for her loved one’s life during severe illness and the additional ordeal of being examined about her role in an outcome. She praises Celeste for handling that process strongly and for speaking to the chair about systemic problems. She calls for Celeste’s words and evidence to be taken seriously and acted upon, warning that if the system remains broken, similar pain and consequences will continue.
"If the system remains broken, this terrible pain will continue."
