Those things need to be they're all respect we should respectfully address each one and not make assumptions, but also at the same time, our system is not set up to fully treat someone as a whole person and a whole being.

So if I have a substance use and a mental health issue, a lot of times I have to walk through separate doors to get treatment, and the folks are not talking to each other.

So I just wanna thank you all for your continued advocacy.
