“It’s hard to underestimate the amount of trauma incarceration can have for people and how much time we as health providers are trying to…rebuild that trust that has been profoundly broken.”

What are the opportunity costs to behavioral health policy and funding decisions? At the second annual Vision 2030 Solution Symposium, Claire Simonich from the verainstitute California provides a clear example:

Watch the full panel, Breaking the Cycle: Strategies to Reduce Homelessness, Incarceration, and Hospitalization, moderated by our board member and Director of the UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative, Margot Kushel, on our YouTube channel.
