Denise Paley: From Crisis to Advocacy
Send us a text
Denise Paley shares the harrowing story of her son's sudden onset schizophrenia at age 18 and his subsequent five-year imprisonment without sentencing, revealing critical failures in how our justice system handles mental illness.
• Son Ellis was an honor roll student with a bright future before experiencing first-episode psychosis
• Police dismissed parents' concerns when Ellis disappeared, missing critical intervention opportunity
• Ellis has been incarcerated for nearly five years, remaining unsentenced with his case continued 48 times
• He spent 3.5 years without proper treatment for psychosis while in prison
• When finally transferred to a facility that properly treated his condition, his symptoms completely remitted
• Denise successfully advocated for mandatory crisis intervention training for Connecticut police officers
• People with serious mental illness are 10 times more likely to end up in prison than in hospital
• Contrary to popular belief, 50% of people with schizophrenia recover within 10 years with proper treatment
• First episode psychosis requires immediate treatment - early intervention dramatically improves outcomes
• Breaking stigma and sharing family mental health history can help others recognize symptoms earlier
