In today's complex social landscape, finding the right balance between inclusivity and freedom of expression is a challenge many organizations face. Telecare, known for its strong support of gender studies and LGBTQ+ issues, is no exception. Their commitment to these causes is admirable, but their approach to religion, particularly within their clinical spaces, raises some important questions. At Telecare, residents are free to preach and pray within their homes—a recognition that for many, faith is a deeply personal and essential part of life. However, when it comes to the clinic, the rules are different. Religious activities are restricted if they...

When it comes to the question of whether Telecare offers safe housing, one must first ask: safe for whom? For years, Telecare has marketed itself as a provider of supportive services and housing for those with mental illnesses, but the reality is far more complex and, frankly, troubling. Telecare’s facilities are often a melting pot of parolees, active addicts, and untreated mentally ill individuals.

It feels like an invasion, doesn't it? Because it is. Here’s the kicker:...

Imagine waking up one morning to find that your new neighbor isn’t just someone moving in after a lease ended, but rather a psychotic convict, fresh off the streets, struggling with drug addiction. You didn’t get a notice, a warning, or even a whisper of what’s going on. They’ve been moved in by Telecare, an organization that’s supposed to help the mentally ill, but is instead creating a ticking time bomb right in your backyard. Spontaneous Evictions with Nowhere to Go Telecare has a track record of abruptly evicting their residents—many of whom are mentally unstable, suffering from severe psychosis,...

Let me start by saying that I have great respect for young people today. They’ve inherited a world that’s more connected, more complicated, and more chaotic than ever before. That being said, I’ve had my fair share of run-ins with Gen Z, especially when it comes to the treatment teams at places like Telecare, and I can’t help but wonder sometimes: how dumb is Gen Z? Now, don’t get me wrong. Gen Z is incredibly educated. They’ve grown up with the internet, they can fact-check anything in seconds, and they’ve got more degrees than a thermometer. But when it comes...
