Agree Housing 1st = Permanent Supportive Housing ONLY approach 2 #homelessness has been a disaster. For serious mental illness also need longer humane secured options in the continuum of housing. See ➡️ https://t.co/dOsKdh5KCt
In order to achieve better outcomes for untreated and under-treated chronic serious mental illnesses and addictions, we need to be asking the right questions and collecting the right data. There are more questions but this is an excellent start!

@EvanWatsonNews Ty so much for this piece on barriers to civil commitment for people suffering with untreated serious mental illnesses. Every conversation about homelessness, incarceration, revolving doors & death per this population should start here. 🙏🏻

Inspired by Denver’s STAR program, Congress to consider bill that would expand alternate responses to 911 calls.

However there are no strict guidelines on what kind of programs can be funded through the bill ...so you know how this is going to go.
Whoa!! Go #Georgia! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

In the middle of a national epidemic of mental health crises and overdose deaths, this panel’s deeply flawed ruling will result in our loved ones suffering and dying at the expense of insurance companies’ financial interests. https://t.co/VcEFkrFqQq
Terrific article by my friend and colleague @CarolynGorman_ on false and dangerous assumptions about Assisted Outpatient Treatment #AOT that put people living with un/undertreated serious mental illnesses at risk of homelessness, incarceration and death.

Fantastic OpEd by @CherylARoberts of @greenburgerorg & Dr. Ralph Aquila, Medical Director of Horizon House in Philadelphia that calls on us all to work together for #mentalhealth#parity and a full range of quality mental health care options including #involuntary!
@AllenFrancesMD 1. In Louisiana, after Gov Jindal wiped out long term inpatient psych infrastructure, social workers began sending client patients to nursing homes. Only jails and nursing homes (NH)s offer needed 24/7 secured care.

Wow… #MicDrop Denial of serious mental illnesses as a real illness is why we can expect more homelessness, incarceration, death & revolving doors under Susan Hutson. I guess that Y she wants to build a mental health jail. Reelect @SheriffGusman! B4 the train goes off the cliff!
I just witnessed an armed car jacking of a 16 yo at a gas station in Metairie at 4:15 in the afternoon. I called 911, followed the car for a bit, and returned to the gas station to give my statement to JPSO. That is some bullshit. Stay aware and safe out there y’all.
