RSVP here!
On Friday, May 10, 2024, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at 310 East 42nd Street in midtown Manhattan, MHP will convene stakeholders to discuss the resources and policy changes needed to end the mass incarceration of people with mental health challenges. Building on our report Reimagining Paths to Health & Justice: Perspectives on Community Diversion, the panel discussions with policymakers, practitioners, and advocates, including individuals directly impacted by criminal legal and mental health systems, will explore prevention and diversion from the criminal legal system and consider the resources needed to support people with mental health concerns as they return to the community from jail and hospital.
Participants will have an opportunity to participate in the discussions and ask questions during a question-and-answer period. The event will include a light breakfast and networking lunch.
