Psychosis, Criminalization, and Homelessness (LIVE) | Crisis Jam – Episode 251

Описание: Why do so many people experiencing psychosis end up in jails, emergency rooms, or on the streets instead of receiving care?

In this episode of Crisis Jam, we’re joined by Dr. Katherine Warburton, a national leader in forensic and community psychiatry, to unpack the complex intersection of serious mental illness, the criminal legal system, and homelessness — and what it will take to change the trajectory.

We’ll explore:
🔹 How untreated psychosis too often leads to criminalization instead of treatment
🔹 The system gaps between crisis response, behavioral health, housing, and justice
🔹 The role of state hospitals, forensic systems, and community-based care
🔹 What effective crisis systems can do to divert people from jail and into care
🔹 Policy and practice shifts needed to address homelessness among people with serious mental illness

This conversation is essential for:
✔ Crisis system leaders
✔ Behavioral health providers
✔ First responders and law enforcement partners
✔ Policymakers and advocates
✔ Anyone working at the intersection of mental health and justice

Crisis care doesn’t end at stabilization — it must address the structural pathways that move people from illness → arrest → homelessness. Join us as we talk about how to build systems that interrupt that cycle.
