I have a 13 year old son with many mental health disabilities. If there were any more cutbacks in the RiteCare program, I am afraid that the agencies that are providing services to him, would stop. I have high hopes that my son will be a contributing member of society. Without these programs, he would not continue to thrive and could end up on Medicaid for the rest of his life.
