Challenges Identified: When the Community Problem Solvers first heard about the mental health transportation crisis facing Ellis County, it tugged at our heartstrings and immediately grabbed our interest. We recognized the project was good, but it is an uncomfortable subject. After finding that all of our other project ideas were unattainable due to the resources available to us, we requested that Mackie Owens, at the Hope Clinic, return to explain more about the problem, and what was being asked of us. Every month, an average of 400 Ellis County citizens require mental health assistance.
