If you want to see mental illness improve in San Francisco, attend the San Francisco Mental Health Board meetings. If you can't be physically present, you can also call in. The website is: http://www.mhbsf.org/

You can call 415-255-3474 on Wednesday, November 15, 2017 before 6:30PM (and every month afterwards) and ask to be put on the conference call. Put it on your calendar. You can start by just listening in and hearing what people say. Everyone who calls in has a legal ability to comment on what's been said, after the board has spoken. You might have an idea no one else has heard.

I serve on a different mental health board. I can answer some questions if you have them.

Thank you for posting a way for members of HN to actually contribute to their community. It’s better to have an actionable item then to have opinions float about.

Don't just thank me, engage with your local mental health board. Also, thank you for reading my post.
