Differentiating Between Public and Private Organizations

The difference between a private funded and a State funded organization is, that a private organization depends on funds coming from people that want to support their cause and state funded is when an organization depends on money coming from the state budget. I chose to look at the difference in Private Mental Hospitals compared to State Funded Mental Hospitals.
Every time the state has to correct their budget for the state they look at what they can cut, and usually the mental health service will be one to get cut. So, states have tried to do deinstitutionalization is where it focuses on reducing the amount of patients in hospitals, by releasing them early, to help reduce the need to stay in the hospital so as to reduce dependency. A private hospital will have ways of getting people to donate, not only money but equipment and other services by volunteering.
What I could do to help make sure that the care of mental patients is to be involved in any and all programs that are available. To make sure that I keep up on reports and to show what is working and what may not be working. To stay involved in the organization if it is a private and to help with fundraisers. I can go to any meetings that are for the state budget and to be involved in the community as much as possible, to get feedback from the patient’s family, and from the patients if possible. Talking classes that would help me to understand the laws and what is being done to help the mental health population.

    One of the most striking differences between for-profit and nonprofit corporations is where each gets its input. For-profit corporations rely on employees and consultants, people in the company's employ, to help do the analyses and create the visions. Nonprofits usually invite outside stakeholders, those who support or benefit from the organization's work, to participate in strategic…

    The deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill was originally and idealistically portrayed as a liberating, humane policy alternative to the restrictive care in large state supported hospitals. It was supposed to help these individuals regain freedom and empower themselves through responsible choices and actions. Due to many funding issues, stiff opposition from communities, and ill-equipped patients, who are unable to live independently, this idealized program, has not always been a blessing for the communities or the patients.…

These five psychiatrists contribute majorly to the field of psychology. I was blessed with the chance to be able to ask each of them a question.

During the period 1970-73 14 state hospitals were closed. Programs that supported deinstintuliation were the start of Community Mental Health Centers passed on a bill by the U.S Congress hoping that it would be able to be a resource regardless of one's ability to pay(The History Of Issues,132-140).

    Decreases in funding for mental health services have led to a decline in available inpatient beds, outpatient services, and mental health professionals. Hospitals can no longer afford to support inpatient beds dedicated to mental health patients, counties can no longer afford numerous outpatient treatment programs and professionals can afford to specialize in mental health care. The expenditures for mental health care grew by only 6.4% from 2002 to 2005 while overall health care expenditures grew by 7.3% (Holt, 2013).…

    Deinstitutionalization is the process of replacing long-stay psychiatric hospitals with less isolated community mental health services for people diagnosed with a mental disorder or developmental disability. Deinstitutionalization has been an overall benefit for most psychiatric patients, but many have been left homeless and without care. Another result is the increase of people in prisons and county jails who have a severe mental illness. Without the proper treatment these people, who are sometimes undiagnosed, can develop drug addiction and substance abuse dependency…

    There are fifty one types of insanity defense because each state including the District of Colombia has its own statute that sets the standard for determining if a defendant is legally insane. In general though the standards fall into two categories. The most significant difference among the different states is who has the burden of proving the presence or absence of legal insanity and which rule is used in determining if the rule is applicable (Journal of Psychiatric Practice, May 2000, p.169, Law and Psychiatry – The Insanity Defense: Bad or Mad or Both?, William H. Reid). About half of the states use the M 'Naghten rule and some use the Model Penal Code standard established by the American Law Institute. Kansas, Montana , Idaho and Utah are the only four states who have…

    Deinstitutionalization is a term used to describe reducing long term psychiatric hospitals with agencies that can provide mental health services without a person being hospitalized. I do not think that these programs have been helpful in the community. Most of these programs have long waiting lists and/or appointments are scheduled so far in advance that a person may have relapsed and may be in need of inpatient services. For those that may not require extensive mental health treatment, community programs are very helpful. However, I believe that persons with mild symptoms do not require extensive treatment.…
