  • Lost Patients Event — A Community Conversation on the Mental Illness Crisis

    Walking around Seattle, you’ve likely encountered someone with untreated psychosis. We're not alone in this — many U.S. cities are facing an ongoing crisis of people with severe mental illness who cycle between the streets, hospitals, and jails. Why is it like this? In the Lost Patients podcast, reporters from KUOW and The Seattle Times examined Washington state's maze-like system for treating severe mental illness and past decisions that led to this outcome. Join KUOW’s Libby Denkmann and Lost Patients hosts Will James and Sydney Brownstone, along with a panel of guests, as we explore the current barriers to effective care for severe mental health issues and what it will take to find solutions. Find out more about this event and RSVP today! KUOW Live Events Sponsored by Phinney Ridge Painting.
