Conversations Cafe: Public Policy & Mental Health
In the history of treatment of people with mental health challenges, the American healthcare system has done a poor job at protecting people. Policy should ask people what they need to live the lives they want and support them in getting there, and while there have been improvements, we have more work to do. Join Hope For The Day and a panel of guests as we talk about the continued fight to ensure access to treatment, to improve quality of treatment, to reduce homelessness, incarceration, and discrimination, and ultimately move our system towards what better can look like: one where people are treated with dignity and proactive prevention of mental health challenges is prioritized.
Our amazing guests this week include:
-Joel Frieders: Hope for the Day's Director of Public Policy and Strategic Partnerships
-Katie Rosenberg: Mayor of Wausau, WI
-Kenedey Ward: Assistant Director for Hope for the Day's Project R.E.D. Team
-Dr. Nneka Jones Tapia: Leader in Residence at Chicago Beyond; Psychologist
-Sara Feigenholtz: State Senator of Illinois, 6th District
Conversations Cafe is (usually) a monthly live podcast recording at Sip of Hope Coffee Bar featuring education and open forum dialogue on the intersections of Mental Health within our communities. This education programming is brought to you by Hope for the Day with support from our partners in prevention, The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention of Illinois, Banyan Treatment Center, and Janssen.
Join the conversation. We are in this together.
