conservatorship we currently have. and i have to say as a provider, these are the cases i take home with me and i worry about. and something like housing conservatorship or sb1045 would be the mechanism i need to support her engaging in care. one of the programs i oversee is assisted outpatient treatment, lord's law, and one of the programs i mentioned earlier that san francisco has a history of implementing. program adopted by the board in 2014 and subsequently enacted in 2015. for individuals who have serious mental illness who are not engaged in treatment and are on a downward spiritual. what i think is important to note about this is it's really focussed on serious mental illness, not the co-relationship of mental illness and substance use. ultimately, what we can do in these cases, if we are unsuccessful engaging in the services, petition the court to office them into outpatient treatment. however, an individual must meet strict legal criteria to be able, for us to be able to do that. one of the big criteria, two

what worked with alice wasn't the conservatorship. what worked is someone taking the time to care about alice, taking the time to get to know alice, and taking the time to understand what makes alice tick and convince her to come inside. that was a huge learning experience to me about people who are very, very, very, ill like the people we're talking about here which are a relatively small number of people. that worked. now i want to tell a story of another individual. this was actually told to me by a social worker at st. mary's who works with conserved individuals. this individual was someone that everyone knew, spent time on van ness from pacific heights to the chinatown area. he's a melt user. he's someone who drove everyone crazy. you will a the neighbors complained about him constantly. there was a twitter feed about him. there was a blog of frustrated neighbors. probably because the city and the supervisors and the dph and the police and the department of homelessness were so -- got so many complaints about this individual, onc

yet number 8 is the door that opens up the magic of conservatorship. i think if you really want to do something helpful, it would be to look at -- i'm sorry, look at the shelter system. people turn down shelters and they are criticized for that. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello, my name is bettye trainor. i agree with everything karen has said. i want to add one more thing. i want to thank supervisor madwoman -- mandelman for establishing the mental health task force. that is a solution, to have people coming together who are in the system, either as clients or as workers, as nonprofit people with the city. they will come up with a solution. we don't need something like involuntary 1045. thank you. >> next speaker. next speaker. >> hi, my name is cw. i'm with the mental health association of san francisco, and i am formerly homeless and dealing with mental health challenges as well as physical challenges. also, i am with the sda. here's just a few things i need to say that i have come to you about several of these things, and i just want to

she doesn't continue to meet the criteria for conservatorship. throughout this time, she would receive intensive wraparound services, and potential treatment plan for some be like melanie might include an initial placement at the healing centre, and then having the opportunity to have uninterrupted care where she is able to stabilize and we can have conversations regarding harm reduction, and engage her in motivational interviewing. should then be able to transition to a program, followed by a co-op, all the while working with an intensive case manager, potentially through citywide, who also provides peer-based services, and ultimately, when she is clinically ready, being placed in permanent supportive housing. >> before we go on, how will that change -- can i go through questions about how it would work under the current law? so first of all, the case manager that has been working with melanie already, how many clients does that case manager serve? >> through assisted outpatient treatment, the ratio is 1-10 clients. >> so melanie's case manager

not a single person told me we needed to reform conservatorship law. everyone said -- and i said, i want to work on this and change anything we need to change. every single person said we do not have enough residential treatment beds in the system. we don't have a place to send them once they complete the programs. that's what they said. fyi, you brought that up, not me. going back to what i was saying, melanie, i saw you -- you were going to get up to talk about melanie. would baker place be the place we send her, and why should we assume that is going to be successful for melanie if we've worked with her hundreds of times and nothing's ever worked before. it's not a lush facility. it's voluntary services. why is baker place going to work for melanie now if she doesn't want to be there and nothing else has worked before? i do know melanie and i think it's an important question. i can say working with aot and running that program. for some individuals just having the court utilizing the symbolic weight of the court to leverage them into care makes a di

and now you're talking about adequate beds, conservatorship. you can't even support the system that you got now. and you're trying to gather up people by the police. [bell ringing] you must be out of your mind. [laughter] [microphone shut off] >> next speaker. >> all of you made an appointment to see a psychiatrist yourself. [laughter] [applause] >> next speaker, please. >> all right. >> hello. i'm with the association. i'm someone who is homeless, who is formerly homeless and living with mental health challenges. i get it. you guys are like the warriors. 17 points down, the city 17 points down. we know that you don't have the services. we know that you have a lack of bills, you don't have the shelters. we know you don't have all of the things that you need. and so this -- 10:45 looks like a win. it's a false win. in the long run, this will not work and we know it. if you haven't incurred the basic needs and the basic problemsing the more complicated problems become more complicated. people aren't getting what they need. if we aren't getting wh

>> we would have to provide melanie with notification we would be petitioning for conservatorship. >> before melanie is conserved she has to questio to go to cou. she doesn't want services and hasn't engaged with you before. how will we get her to court in. >> a critical player is public defender. he would meet with her before the hearing. >> if we know that in order to conserve her involuntarily that she has to go to court and she doesn't want to go to court, the public defender is going to convince his or her client to do something he or she does not want to do? i do not understand how this works. you are going to ask? is there anyone from the public defender's office here? >> i am in aot. angelica has experience with the public defender's office and street outreach. >> the public defender plays a crucial role and there is not one person from the public defender's office here? that is shocking. can we get someone from the public defender's office here? as you said several times throughout the hearing. they play a very important role. i am surprised we don't have a representative fro

this is a serious issue, of course, and there are a lot of questions that come from me about conservatorship and i've been talking to supervisor mandelman, the mayor's office, really trying to understand exactly the benefits of if we were to support sb1045 and current toreship and there are a lot of struggles for me as we continue to have this conversation. so, i have, i guess, some statements and some questions, particularly starting with, we had a mental health hearing and public safety neighborhood services. we have also had some reports from department of public health and i guess my first question is, because i've consistently heard from the department of public health that we don't have enough beds to adequately address the needs of people seeking voluntary services, am i right that is still the case? >> supervisor, i think what we discussed is important in terms of adding, something as a landscape has changed in san francisco for who we are serving, we also have to respond to that and adjust our system to meet those needs. so adding the beds is an important part to us addressing the n

conservatorship automatically terminates unless renewed by the court.al person will be represented by a public defender throughout the process and has the right to a court or jury trial as well as the right to contest or petition to end the conservatorship early at any point. sb1045 was signed into state law in september. mayor breed and brought the legislation in november. since then, office of public health and public conservator have spent many long hours thinking through plans for implementation. and held three meetings with stakeholders to discuss the plan. i want to thank all those who participated in those conversations and those directly by email, call, text, twitter message, as well as here today. now, i at times over the last several months have wondered if ever so many have spent so much time, energy and effort working through and fighting over a program that seems so modest in its ambitions. it is tempting, colleagues, i am sure, to conclude that this 1045 stuff is really just not worth the effort. clearly i think that it is. even if we only

"e.t." has learned the judge did not grant britney's request for more freedom. we've also learned an expert will likely conduct a mental evaluation between now and the next conservatorship hearing on september 18th. so, how did britney spend mother's day? >> britney was spotted kid-free on a coffee run. but her kids visited during the day. meanwhile, her boyfriend of two years, sam asghari, celebrated britney with this throwback photo. well the evaluation the judge reportedly ordered is an expert evaluation, usually used for parents in divorce cases. >>> all right, let's mo

as you probably remember, what that does is expands the conservatorship role to really target people who had multiple reoccurrence in psycho emergency and people who have substance abuse issues. as you also probably no, it is fairly limited in terms of its ability to reach out to new people, so what is happening right now is there is a lot of work going on in sacramento with another bill, and that is essentially a cleanup bill that will fix some of the structural problems with the first bill. so the mirror's office is very devoted to getting 1045 past someone the other bill happens that we would really be able to make some headway with the conservatorship program in san francisco and i want to say that joel nielsen, my deputy director who oversees the conservatorship programs and other programs has really been dedicated to working with the mayor, working with the department of public health, she has been in sacramento a lot providing support people have been up there to testify it is a big lift, so may 13th is the hearing for that. the third is that there is a housing bond that is ro
