There is a crisis brewing in New Haven that potentially affects Black and brown people seeking mental health treatment at the Connecticut Mental Health Center. Officials' plan to bring in armed police and add surveillance. This has the advocacy group Hamden Action Now calling the impending policy change a veiled attempt for more control of Black and Brown communities. My guests today are Rhonda Caldwell of hamdenactionnow, along with Carmen Black Parker and Keith Gallagher from Yale University who work at the CMHC. This is an important discussion. It is available in both audio and video versions.
