National Safety Council: Survivor Advocate

​https://vimeo.com/449029079/0231a531d7

​Glen Head Elementary School teacher, Sharon Richmond, works tirelessly for the rights of those suffering with a substance use disorder to receive appropriate treatment.  The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act was passed as a way to end health insurance discrimination against people with mental health and substance-use disorders. The law requires health plans and insurers that cover services for mental health and substance-use disorders to do so at the same level as other medical services, however the law is not always upheld in practice.  Here Sharon shares the story of her son Vincent and the obstacles they faced in receiving the treatment he so desperately needed.
