The mayor’s perverse mental health priorities  

Last month, cops fatally shot Saheed Vassell, a mentally ill Brooklyn man who’d been menacing passersby with an object that looked like a gun. This month, City Hall is rushing to find $4 million for a program that trains social service workers at 15 nonprofits to recognize signs of mental stress and refer clients to the appropriate services.

You read that right — mental stress. Such is the low priority Team de Blasio places on getting help for the seriously mentally ill.

The scramble for the $4 million comes after the feds, setting their own priorities amid budget cuts, pulled the plug on an ongoing grant for the Connections to Care program after three years and “just” $6 million.
