“Share Your Expertise: What do you think?”
This workshop will have no speaker, just a moderator. The purpose of it is for the audience of judges and other attendees to make short lightning-round statements on what they have found important to reduce criminalization and to share their professional expertise on what works and what is needed with other attendees. In other words, you are the speaker. The ideas will be collected and might appear in future advocacy materials.

DJ Jaffe is Executive Director of the non-partisan Mental Illness Policy Org., and author of Insane Consequences: How the Mental Health Industry Fails the Mentally Ill. For over 30 years, he has been advocating to reduce homelessness, arrest, incarceration and needless hospitalization of the most severely mentally ill, a group he believes has been abandoned by the mental health system and offloaded to criminal justice. He served on the national NAMI board NAMI, was a founding board member of the Treatment Advocacy Center and works extensively with criminal justice. DJ regularly appears on TV and is a go-to source for reporters covering serious mental illness and criminalization. His thoughtful and controversial op-eds have appeared the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall St. Journal and other publications. He is credited as being the driving force behind Kendra’s Law and Congress incorporated ideas proposed by DJ in the Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act. DJ develops policies focused on returning responsibility for the seriously back to mental health departments by increasing the number of hospital beds, making civil commitment easier, expanding use of Assisted Outpatient Treatment, and focusing mental health dollars on those who need help the most, rather than the least. He lives in Harlem, NY.
