Kel Lee Cutrell, associate director of counseling services at the University of North Georgia’s Gainesville campus, speaks at a forum Monday about the historical inhumane treatment of the mentally ill.
After being struck by a patient at the Central State Hospital, Kel Lee Cutrell knew there was only one correct response: a hug. It was the human touch and compassion the patient needed, Cutrell said during a forum Monday on mental health at the University of North Georgia Gainesville campus. “I don’t think it’s rocket science to treat people humanely,” said Cutrell, who serves as the associate director of counseling services for the campus.
