Holding public systems accountable for the safety and welfare of the people they serve - people with mental disabilities should not be separated from families, friends, and communities, nor should they be consigned to correctional facilities or other institutional settings because the mental health system has failed to help them. Children must not be deprived of educational services as punishment for behavior associate with mental or emotional disability, and families should not have to relinquish custody of children with emotional disorders in order to access needed treatment. The bazelon center is committed to the idea that people with mental disabilities should not be punished for the system's failures to provide access to the resources they need for stable lives and meaninful participation in the community.
