TRUITTEditor's note: OPC Area Program has asked to run a series of articles about changes that will be occurring in the public mental health system over the next 18 months. The first article will provide a historical perspective regarding the public system and outline the organizational shift that will be occurring.Many of you know that the public mental health, developmental disability and substance abuse system has changed significantly over the last 10 years. In that time I am sure that you have seen, heard and possibly experienced concerns about the system's fundamental stability.We acknowledge that change is difficult and that change at a system level presents significant challenges to all stakeholders.
