• Works with police to divert people from the criminal justice system when possible
• Explains the "revolving door" problem with brief hospital stays leading to recurring crises
• Advocates for Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) to reduce homelessness, hospitalization, and incarceration
• Discusses anosognosia (lack of awareness of illness) affecting up to 97% of untreated schizophrenia patients
• Clarifies that most people with mental illness are not violent and are more likely to be victims
• Highlights the difference between psychosis and borderline personality disorder interventions
• Emphasizes that mental illnesses are brain disorders that shouldn't be stigmatized
