Derald Walker, Casacadia CEO was asked his opinion during an OPB broadcast on how the mental health community feels about the report:
“Derald Walker of Cascadia Behavioral Health says he hopes this will wind up helping the mentally ill.
Derald Walker:’I think sometimes unfortunately what has to happen in these situations is that the Department of Justice has to step in, render an opinion and almost force our system to provide the funding necessary to really get us up to where we should be.'”
