Reimagining Care: Adapting to Shifts in Behavioral Health Policy

As Mental Health Awareness month ends, join us for a discussion about the changing landscape of behavioral health and substance use treatment in San Francisco and California.

Join changemakers from local service provider, PRC, and the California Association of Social Rehabilitation Agencies, to delve into the fundamentals of behavioral health and substance use treatment. Explore the hurdles encountered by service providers and examine how recent city and state legislation has influenced the efficacy of service delivery.

Amid a state budget shortfall and changing voter attitudes on treatment and public safety, learn first-hand about the innovative approaches that organizations like PRC and others are
taking to meet the needs of our state for years to come.

PRC is a San Francisco-based nonprofit social impact organization serving the needs of the City’s most vulnerable people and communities. Their multifaceted programs offer supportive services to those living with HIV/AIDS, substance use disorder, mental illness or other social determinants of health that most often stem from the broader systemic challenges of historic economic, social and racial inequities. PRC, in service since 1987, assists over 5,000 individuals annually.

Speakers: Chuan Teng, PRC; Jessica Winterrowd, PRC; Chad Costello, SASRA
