SUMMARY:Non-ORD2 Indivisible Sponsored Event: Care Not Cuffs: Exploring Solutions to Addiction\, Mental Illness\, and Homelessness - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Health care experts and activists will discuss how our county is dealing with the issues of addiction\, mental health and houselessness from a public health perspective. What programs are working and could be expanded? What programs are finding success in neighboring counties? With a bond measure for funding a larger jail on the ballot in May\, we felt it important for voters to increase their familiarity with programs that can help reduce incarceration and enhance treatment/assistance for vulnerable residents in our community. \nWe’ll explore these topics from 6:30-8 p.m. on Tuesday\, April 14. The forum will be presented live via Zoom and recorded for later viewing. \nEmail your questions: (in advance or during the presentation) to Sarah Spansail at vicechair@jcdemocrats.org. \nZoom link:\nhttps://zoom.us/j/436584529?pwd=MldUamkrMmQ4VnFhaGFQN2pOT3VjUT09\nPassword: 775432 \nOr Connect by Telephone:\n(669) 900 6833 or (253) 215 8782\nWebinar ID: 436 584 529\nPassword: 775432 \nFor more information:\nWebsite: https://www.jcdemocrats.org/calendar\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/JCDHealthCareCaucus/ \nPanelists: \nTim Black is the Operations Coordinator for CAHOOTS (Crisis Assistance Helping Out on the Streets)\, a nationally-recognized program operated by the White Bird Clinic in Eugene.
