Mental Health in Transition
Mental Health in Transition was a 3-part series, presented by Fountain House in partnership with Trinity Church Wall Street, that explored the intersections of public safety, housing, and public health and mental health. The series aimed to inform the incoming NYC Administration on issues around mental health, equity and policy in New York City.
Close to 1000 attendees joined live to listen to 11 expert panelists, with three media moderators, over the course of 5 weeks. The moderators were: Caroline Lewis, Health Reporter at WNYC/Gothamist; Andy Newman, reporter at The New York Times; and Nsikan Akpan, Health and Science Editor at WNYC. Attendees engaged passionately during the panels, asking critical questions of panelists about opportunities to address these issues in the incoming administration.
