never be clean again. since then she s had one of the best programs that exist in the city. i know for a fact having worked for the city and county, if it had been a county agency which crossed so many areas, we d still be talking about it. my belief, my hope is that in this community we have a grand desire to do better particularly with the homeless situation with people who are mentally ill, with all of this. what would support law enforcement would be if they had more recourse. if there was in every community in the city, a place during the day where someone can walk in and sit down and without filling out a mountain of paperwork and just talk to someone. it would have an enormous benefit. it would be cheap, it could be well managed and incredibly effective. that kind of solution, i feel like on the side of where i come from which is the over here with we have to bill medi-cal and we are becoming more and more convoluted with all of our it systems. an emergency room dr. at
director doer clinic. my name is cecilia o connor. i work at the doer clinic. it s a psychiatric community based clinic for people experiencing crisis. prior to that, i worked at san francisco psychiatric emergency for the last 10 years. and a psych nurse. my experience with law enforcement with this experience, i have a lot of firsthand experience. i am one of the early members of the cit. i was quite excited and thrilled that this was going to go forward. and one of those reasons is that one of the unintended positive consequences of that entire project was that in a health care system that is incredibly siloed to the detriment of any client trying to seek services. an example of that and probably many of you in this room are aware of or know people who have experienced this. one individual maybe working with so many different providers, but none of those providers speak to each other. so we have this incredibly complex and extremely difficult to navigate system for most
