Unlawful detainer actions had been moved because of the cuts in the budget done by our legislators. They have been moved out of the county to santa monica. 9 out of 10 who are defending trying to keep their house, 9 out of 10 have no lawyers. On the landlords side, 9 out of 10 have lawyers. So after you drive all the way to santa monica and after you try to figure out what it is, what the Real Property laws is in california and what defenses you might have or what arguments you might have, you are faced with a trained lawyer and someone who has been to law school for 3 years, someone whose practiced for some period of time. What we need here to answer your question is a playwright. This is mccobb. This is weird. We are not on anyones calendar to speak of. That for some of us, thats what makes it fun. Thank you. Jum. [ applause ] we are now going to take audience questions and answers. No cards. So please pass them in so we can ask questions. Youll let me again ask karen, you spent the
Their clients. Im a huge fan and knowing what we need to do is to make sure those people that need help get the help they want. Our clients are offered treatment and across the board every Single Person arrested for that are offered services an they all get help. Everyone of them gets help. And my outcomes show that they benefit from that. Thank you. [ applause ] you were a substance treatment expert for the medical center. I understand there is some promising new treatments about alcohol that maybe on the horizon. Tell us about that. As far as treatment for alcoholism, the first things to consider is how somebody gets into treatment in the first place. There is 4 ls, liver, livelihood, lover or the law. Those 4 things. Liver, livelihood, lover and law. Within those ls is when somebody shows up in my door, someone suffering, a Family Member suffering who brings somebody in. When it company ms to treat we know there is different types of treatment, there is Evidence Base treatment. Ther
To engage people, trying to give them as much say in the treatment plan as they are willing to provide and when you read the description in Nevada County that has it fully implemented. When you meet the people who work they are, they believe in the same things that mr. Vega was mentioning, love kindness, i think thats why we all do this work but there are individuals like my mother, maybe like his son who need a little bit of extra help. I think that sometimes oftentimes clients see judges differently than they see their doctors. They are more line listening to judges than their doctors and than can be a very effective push into treatment, and that sometimes not pushing them in that way prevents them from getting into treatment in the beginning. What i found is that that is the first step to recovery. Once they are in treatment, they continue to receive treatment voluntarily. But sometimes some individuals need a little bit of extra help. Thats how i see actually one thing that, i thin
Managing chronic alcoholism. I know the cities are pursuing some of the those medications. They are expensive but at the same time if i can offer someone an injection that perhaps may not be as drunk anymore, most people will think about giving it a try. There are various types of treatment protocols coming up and those show promises as well. In the end it has to do with time and effort. Those are the thing that really there is nothing new in addiction that is that magical that will change what i do thank you. [ applause ] last we want to hear from the police chief in San Francisco. Likely your officers end up in the front lines with these people who need services. Whats working out there and what is not working and what tools you need to do the job . Its kind of ironic that we are going last because we are first in dealing with people with crisis and i can remember back when i was brand new back in 1981. There were folks in alley ways, one comes to mind his name was bobby, you wouldnt
I know is fast to get in there, but when the wheels are turned to come home, its slow. I couldnt accept it. People are like they are going to do this to time. I said no, this is clear. This was what was supposed to have been done from the beginning. Even my families, my loved wupz ones that lost. That made me fight more. I never gate gave up my fate. My hope is restored. With that i would like to thank all of our panelist. Thank you. [ applause ] and we are now going to move to our second panel. While they take their seats, this idea of forced treatment versus Constitutional Rights has always been a tension that weve had in our criminal justice system. There is an issue that came up earlier this year that you may have read about involving this implementation of a court that was supposed to treat individuals who were suffering from longterm alcoholism. And the court was set up in a way where individuals were not being arrested for a crime but instead were being jailed for contempt of co
