The city council unanimously approved, on third and final reading, on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, the proposed ordinance that aims to address the growing mental health needs of the city.The proposal authored by Councilor Mary Ann de los Santos is now City Ordinance No. 2681. “In most cases, vehicular accidents [victims] will not only experience physical, but psychosocial trauma as well. Likewise, victims of violence may involve physical or psychosocial trauma or injury. More often than not, once the patient is brought to the emergency room, the focus of the treatment is more on the physical injury, but with this ordinance, it will cater not only to the physical injury but the psychosocial as well,” she added.
