Hospital Prevention Poems

A lot of what I do both for myself and for my peers is hospital prevention. I would not feel such a pressing need to prevent hospitalizations if they were more ethical, therapeutic experiences AND if they were not so expensive.

YES I go to the hospital because I want mental health attention too. With hospital prevention, it is important to realize the benefits of a hospital to see if you can get those same needs met in another way.
