Unstable Teens: First Aid for the Nutjobs.

Travis County Blows $220k on Woke Mental Health Training

The so-called 'progressive' Travis County has wasted a whopping $220,000 of taxpayer money on a woke mental health training program. Integral Care, the self-proclaimed mental health authority, has been handed this cash to push their liberal agenda and promote their leftist ideology. And of course, they're partnering with none other than Austin Public Health, another government waste of space.

"There is a huge need for this," said Leylee Morris, some big shot at Integral Care. "We are in a youth mental health crisis."

First of all, no, Leylee, we're not. What we're in is a crisis of common sense and personal responsibility. We don't need more government involvement and wasted taxpayer dollars on these feel-good projects. The CDC's survey, which they cite as proof, is just more liberal propaganda. 42% of high schoolers with depression symptoms? 10% attempted suicide? Sounds like a bunch of snowflakes who need to toughen up.

This 'early intervention' program is just another way for the left to control our kids and push their woke agenda. They want to teach parents, teachers, and coaches how to handle mental health issues? Give me a break. Most of these kids probably just need a good old-fashioned kick in the rear and to be told to stop whining.

The training is a joke too – six to eight hours of brainwashing and virtue signaling. And of course, it's free, so now we know where our hard-earned money is going – into the pockets of these 'instructors' and the Integral Care cronies.

They're teaching people how to have a conversation? Give me a break. I know how to talk to someone, I don't need some liberal teaching me a 'five-step action plan.' What a waste.

Here's a step-by-step plan for you, Travis County: stop wasting our money.
