deterioration. but the important thing once we recognize this way to we can structure the damage. laura's law is an outpatient treatment designed for two inteenlz to do if number one external support and motivation to the patient internal essence of maflgs when a judge says you need to do this that makes is an expression the second is if the motivation fails the treatment team will be enabled and the family to intervention in a patient drops out of treatment if caught quickly this kind of

deterioration can be referred in twenty-four hours within the emergency service and the patient maybe not having problems. the number of patient in san francisco it qualify for laura's law is small maybe one hundred but ouch extremely high yourselves of ambulance and in patient services and incarcerated and with laura's law in place we hope to see the reduction in arrests and others problems with people who are deteriorating and not seeking treatment. thank you very much (clapping.) thank you very much dr. and i want to call of the vice president as wilcox has been

incredible source of support thank you very much >> hi i'm randell i represents psychiatrists about 35 hundred of them it's observed from dr. russel testimony psychiatrists have to deal with people who are neglected they and they're very, very sick psychiatrists around the state staff the emergency department and the emergency service department they're the in patient psychiatrists in the state hospitals and state prisons and because of those positions psychiatrists know as well as anyone whoops when you negligent people they end up in the institutions and they're very, very difficult to treat at the late stage, if you will, career. if you look at those individuals and trace back the story of any

particular one you will find missed opportunities in the community to intervention in those lives or you'll find many opportunity that were not suv adequate or efficient and because of the missed opportunity those individuals end up very, very sick and it is a problem that san francisco knows well. i will give you a perm be antidote by way of explaining how i become involved i represent psychiatrists but a board member 15 years ago, i got involved the in the drafting of laura's law my own son had a psych disorder one was the structure of a court or legal system helping treatment officials gain compliance in

treatment and the other is effective services. my son was diagnosed before 16 puc. the was the most stable for 10 years during the period between when he was diagnosed and his 18th birthday i have a story similar to the one that supervisor farrell told in which he bausz because weekly probation officer would come and ask questions he'd ask my son are you baby boomer your father and seeing our psychiatrist and taking our meds. that weekly contact even though we have very, very good certifies that weekly contract was the difference when he turned 18 he took off for 9 months and arrested in 3

couldn't and jailed three or four times even if e he was within marino and eureka and sacramento he was living on the streets. i know personally and from stories of the family how necessary it is to have an effective tool that's why psychiatrists in the state appreciate the mayor to help change the lives permanently of folks with mental illness that are two difficult the special tool of laura's a law can help 0 unfortunate outcomes. thank you (clapping.) thank you, mr. hague arrest thank you for everyone coming in particular the wilcox family remember this is about helping individuals and this is the most

compassionate community dreven process here in san francisco i look forward to get it through the board of supervisors and if not taking it to the board so we have laura's law here in san francisco. thanks everyone food in san fra

>> so tell me 0 what's growing in this garden. >> a really at all plant. in the one of the rare places, you know, people have access to green space 24 is one of the places to grow things like the purple floor. it is sort of recognizing that the more diversity in given space the better not to just have one thing by everything supported each another >> it provides the community with an opportunity to get their hands dirty and reach 0 out and congressmen with the community in ways they might have not otherwise to engage with one

other. >> now the dpw urban planning program so see how the garden community. >> so i grew up on a farm in air force base we picked the foods open the trees and share with other families and as i drive around san francisco i see any trees with apples or mrumdz and lemon trees i can see the food going to waste and brought that idea back to the department many of the trees where the fruit would go to waste we origin or crop and pick other fruits and delivery this to food banks or shelters to people who need them. >> i'm here with nang wong hello nang. >> hello. >> i need to understand house

this gleaning work. >> we come and harvest like for example, we'll come over here this is the lemon and plug it like this. >> (laughter). >> made that good, good and ease. >> the trick is how not to hurt the branches. >> like the thing. >> i'm so excited about this. the people are so passionate about where the food goes to the private property owners give us the food they're happy that no of a t is going to waste >> oh. thank you. thank you.

generalic satisfaction but something about giving food away it's giving something i brought that in and sort it and gave it to you it's primitive to be able to give something some basically to someone else. >> now serving number to 49 come on down. >> we have the capability of producing this food and in san francisco you can grow food all year round so the idea we're capable of prougdz food in our own backyards we're here to demonstrate an bans of food and i think that giving it away for free we show individuals it in have to be a comedy. >> we build time together and

it's the strength of any ideas of the connections we'll turn that connection and the more connections you make no mistake about it the more you can have a stronger power and not have to rely on money that's the people power. >> in this episode we've seen the urban farms and gardens provide more in fruits and vegetation people can have the special produce available it can be a place to give back by donating food to others and teach our children the connection to the earth and
