Decriminalizing Mental Illness and Addiction

From Punishment to Public Health (P2PH) partnered with the NYC Justice Peer Initiative and the New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services (NYAPRS) to host a regional state forum highlighting key issues at the intersections of mental health, substance use, housing insecurity and criminal legal system involvement. With the recurrent fear mongering around falsely deemed “dangerous mentally ill” homeless people being targeted for forced removal and coerced treatment, this event is designed to cultivate discussion around investment opportunities to fill gaps in services and create a more integrated behavioral health system that meets the needs of New York City’s most vulnerable residents.

This event was designed to share information on these new resources, cultivate discussion around remaining gaps in services, and explore opportunities to create a more integrated behavioral health system.
