Just to echo what you’re saying in a more simplified form:

Providing care for mental illness is an issue that I am passionate about. I believe that people who are well have a responsibility to advocate and care for those who are not. I believe that all of us would be better off if those who are marginally ill were able to function better. I think all of us would be safer if those who are are in need of constant care and assistance had that. I think our society would function better if the caretakers of people who need constant care had relief and support and were not themselves marginalized.
Here is a woman for whom, at the time of her incident, there was no good solution for help, but from what I am hearing, at many points along the way there were people who were concerned for her mental health. What if they had some actual good resource to turn to; her daughter might not just have a mother but one who was a functional person.
