4:40 am
francisco and we're doing stay safe and we're going to talk about what shelter in place or safe enough to stay in your home means. we're here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco and joined by carla, the deputy director of spur and one of the persons who pushed this shelter in place and safe enough to stay concept and we want to talk about what it means and why it's important to san francisco. >> as you know the bay area as 63% chance of having a major earthquake and it's serious and
4:41 am
going to impact a lot of people and particularly people in san francisco because we live on a major fault so what does this mean for us? part of what it means is that potentially 25% of san francisco's building stock will be uninhibit tabl and people can't stay in their homes after an earthquake. they may have to go to shelters or leave entirely and we don't want that to happen. >> we want a building stock to encourage them to stay in the homes and encourage them to stay and not relocate to other locations and shelters. >> that's right so that means the housing needs to be safe enough to stay and we have been focused in trying to define what that means and you as a former building official knows better than anybody the code says if
4:42 am
an earthquake happens it won't kill you but doesn't necessarily say that can you stay in your home and we set out to define what that might mean and you know because you built this house we're in now and this shows what it's like to be in a place safe enough to stay. it's not going to be perfect. there maybe cracks in the walls and not have gas or electricity within a while but can you essentially camp out within your unit. what's it going to take to get the housing stock up to this standard? we spent time talking about this and one of the building types we talk about was soft story buildings and the ground floor is vulnerable because there are openings for garages
4:43 am
or windows and during the earthquake we saw in the marina they went right over and those are -- >> very vulnerable buildings. >> very and there are a lot of apartment buildings in san that that are like that. >> and time to. >> >> retrofit the buildings so people can stay in them after the earthquake. >> what do they need? do they need information? do they need incentives? mandates? >> that's a good question. i think it starts with information. people think that new buildings are earthquake proof and don't understand the performance the building will have so we want a transparent of letting people know is my building going to be safe in it after an earthquake? is my building so dangers i should be
4:44 am
afraid of being injured? so developing a ranking system for buildings would be very important and i think for some of the larger apartment buildings that are soft story we need a mandatory program to fix the buildings, not over night and not without financial help or incentive, but a phased program over time that is reasonable so we can fix those buildings, and for the smaller soft story buildings and especially in san francisco and the houses over garages we need information and incentives and coaxing the people along and each of the owners want their house to be safe enough. >> we want the system and not just mandate everybody. >> that's right. >> i hear about people talking about this concept of resiliency. as you're fixing your knowledge you're adding to
4:45 am
the city wide resiliency. >> >> what does that mean? >> that's a great question. what spur has done is look at that in terms of recovery and in new orleans with katrina and lost many of the people, hasn't recovered the building stock. it's not a good situation. i think we can agree and in san we want to rebuild well and quickly after a major disaster so we have defined what that means for our life lines. how do we need the gasolines to perform and water perform after an earthquake and the building stock as well, so we have the goal of 95% of our homes to be ready for shelter in place after a major earthquake, and that way people can stay within the city. we don't lose our work force. we don't lose the people that make san francisco so special.
4:46 am
we keep everybody here and that allow us to recover our economy, and everything because it's so interdependent. >> so that is a difficult goal but i think we can achieve it over the long time so thank you very much for hosting us and hosting this great exhibit, and thank you very much for joining

hello. i'm ivette torres, and welcome to another edition of the road to recovery . today we'll be talking about building public awareness and support for prevention, treatment, and recovery issues in behavioral health. joining us in our panel today are arthur c. evans, commissioner, department of behavioral health and intellectual disability services, philadelphia, pennsylvania; fran harding, director, center for substance abuse prevention, substance abuse and mental health services administration, u.s. department of health and human services, rockville, maryland; john shinholser, president, mcshin foundation,
4:53 am
richmond, virginia; pat taylor, executive director, faces & voices of recovery, washington, d.c. fran, why is there a need to increase public awareness and support related to mental and substance use disorders? it's a good question because many people are thinking that they've seen way too much information on this, and, in fact, what we have learned is that we have to get the message out so people understand the facts. they understand that substance abuse and mental health disorders are-is just another chronic illness or problem in the public health realm, and we want-as we move closer to health reform, we want the american public to understand that where we fit into overall health and general medicine. so we're-we need to get the message not only to parents,
4:54 am
not only to young people, but to schools, to faith-based organizations, to communities, to businesses. every piece of america needs to understand how substance abuse and mental health fits in overall health. and arthur, there are, indeed, many aspects of that message, aren't there? i mean, you know, fran mentioned some of the audiences, but-but what other types of messages? are there issues related to discrimination and-and-and public attitudes about our field? yes, i think there are, and i think fran's comments are right on point because the reality is that substance use disorders, mental health conditions are conditions that are very prevalent and that they are very treatable, so i-i think the-the two messages are, one, that-that people who have these conditions are not abnormal in the sense-in that sense, but more importantly that
4:55 am
there are treatments that work and that are very effective. one of the challenges we have in the field is that most of the people who have, for example, addictions, don't go onto treatment, so less than 10 percent of the people who have an addiction that could be treated will actually access treatment. so that means 90 percent of the people who are addicted in this country could benefit from treatment, don't come to treatment, and most of those people don't recognize that they have a problem or that they could seek help and get help. so i think we have a long ways to go, one, to-to raise awareness about the prevalence, but more importantly, that there's help out there that can work for people. and pat, they really do fail to go into treatment because they feel that it's-it's their own moral failing and they don't view it as an illness? i think that's part of the situation we face today, but another part of it is that we have treated addiction as a criminal justice issue rather than a health issue, and what's really exciting about health reform is
4:56 am
it changes the conversation and it changes the message about the fact if you have a problem with alcohol and drugs or if you have a mental health condition, that there's a place that you can get help not in the criminal justice system. so that remessages changes how people think about themselves but also how society thinks about people with addiction and with mental health conditions, so it's an exciting opportunity to help people change how they think about themselves but also the systems of care and support that are out there-to readjust how they're thinking about it as well, so that more people can get the help that they need to recover. john, that's easier said than done, isn't it? well, you know, i was sitting here thinking, you know, there's so many people out here that would like help that are trying to get help and they can't even get it. it's nice to think of trying to get the message to the ones who need it-that don't think they need it, but we're not even dealing with the ones that need help, so i-i think our priorities need to be realigned. we need to actually serve the ones that are asking for it, give them appropriate help as they ask for it when they need
4:57 am
it, and we'll get a much better outcome for the other ones. who would you see as the primary audience that we have to reach with that kind of message? well, we-we already know that, as pat mentioned, the criminal justice system-full of addicts and alcoholics, substance use disorders, co-occurring disorder. they're crying for help. and then you have what i like to call the-i don't know, the social media aids, you know. it's-it's obliterated, you know, just so much information is out there on making drug use and alcohol use look so good and glamorous. well, that's a bad message in there. we-we need to send the truth to these people as well, so like i said earlier, if we help the ones that need it, that right there will be a back draft to help the other ones, and then you'll get greater awareness and, you know, you deal with one problem, opens a door to dealing with the next one. there's a batting order for this, i think. and fran, we're really talking about-as we look at what john mentioned in terms of social marketing in
4:58 am
the context of new media, twitter, facebook, on and on and on, youtube-are we going to reach-for prevention, for example. are we going to reach, you know, the families, the youth, but who else beyond them do we have to reach? we look at it in the field of prevention because you need both prevention treatment and recovery services to be able to bring all of this information and change if you're going to-if we're going to succeed in changing the country's messaging and behaviors around substance abuse and mental health disorders, then we have to approach everyone. so we're-we're looking at not only families and kids, especially when you're talking about prevention. they think those are the only-. you have to-anyone that touches a child is the easiest way to think about it in the prevention field. anyone that touches a family member of someone who is in recovery is another way to look at it, and then, of course, anyone that touches someone who is in current treatment.
4:59 am
so we need to get to families and communities and people that are in all the communities that support-like teachers and faith-based organization leaders and the media. the media sometimes can be our friend when they send out messages for us. for instance, samhsa just sponsored, just finished sponsoring, 9 months' worth of a parental message around underage drinking in times square. nine full months. we had millions of-of hits on that because every 15 seconds was a message. that was shocking for some to look up in times square and see a message around underage drinking. though every little piece has its part and that's why we do multiple messaging; we're using multiple people with multiple targets. and arthur, the-the messaging, we-we're all talking about we need to message, message, message. what is it that we need to say because there-there're various tiers? for example, there's-you're in a state,
5:00 am
you have to work with your legislature or else if you don't get resources, you're not going to get it. you-you're in a state where you need to talk to other policy people because you're trying to sustain a recovery oriented system of care for both mental and substance use disorders that needs to get people coordinated. and what is-what is the primary message? well, i think that there are multiple audiences and that there are multiple messages so-and-and i think one of the things that i've learned being an administrator in the field is that you really have to tailor those messages. so, for example, when you're talking to the criminal justice system, the messages are about how do you reduce recidivism, how do you reduce costs in that system? if you're talking to the educators, one of the things we know is that one of the best predictors of whether or not a child is going to be successful in school is whether they have a social and emotional problem. so you have to frame the issue that way. when you're talking to businesses- and you have to talk to them about assessing the students, you have to talk to them about providing continuity of support or-
