Tom Petrizzo, CEO of Tri-County Mental Health Services, was quoted in a recent article in Flatland, Kansas City PBS’ digital magazine. The article examines how drug addiction and untreated mental health issues contribute to high crime rates in rural Missouri. It focuses attention on Ray County, one of the counties served by Tri-County, which had the highest per-capita rates of violent crime in the metropolitan area last year. Tom describes the efforts that Tri-County has made to reach out to the community and partner with law enforcement.
