What can NYC's efforts to address the mental health of homeless people tell us about this nationwide issue?
On Today's Show:
Andy Newman, reporter for the New York Times who writes about social services and poverty in New York City, and Dr. Anthony Carino, director of psychiatry at CUCS/Janian Medical Care, a healthcare program for people impacted by homelessness talk about the patchwork of psychiatric services available to homeless New Yorkers and why, in some cases, high-need individuals with documented violent histories fall through the cracks leading to dire outcomes, as was the case with Martial Simon who pushed Michelle Alyssa Go onto the subway tracks.
