The HaRRT Center and community members we work with were featured in June’s edition of the American Psychological Association’s Monitor on Psychology magazine in an article called “Life-Saving Supports.” We were talking about ways to support people experiencing homelessness and substance use disorder.

Susan was interviewed about the topic of involuntary commitment and treatment versus harm reduction treatment on KUOW’s On the Record. You can listen with this link under “San Francisco Conservatorship.” And feel free to reach out if you are interested in the stats and ethical and clinical conversations in the scientific literature on coerced treatment, compulsory treatment and involuntary commitment. We at the HaRRT Center are happy to help!
