We ended Season One as the pandemic held its grip on our country in the middle of December. Now, a little over four months later, the sun is shining more brightly. There is a vaccine. The scary Covid surge has abated and we have a functioning government that is making public health, returning to school and jumpstarting the economy a priority.
So, I am ready to return to our conversations. The theme remains the same. The American mental health system is broken and voices for change will be featured each week. We are inspired by the global best practice in Trieste, Italy.
We are going to explore more provocative topics this season: old-fashioned social work, California's Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, the world-view of Dr. Franco Basaglia, how the CAHOOTS mobile crisis response model really works and how it can be adapted to local jurisdictions, how do human rights apply to the treatment of people with mental illness in American society and more.
First episode airs on April 30, 2021.
