This Wednesday, the HLS Mississippi Delta Project is pleased to welcome Frank Laski, former Executive Director of the Mental Health Legal Advisors Committee of Massachusetts.  Mr. Laski will discuss trends in mental health policy–from the criminal justice system to community based services–and their impact on low-income individuals. He will also offer potential solutions to improve mental health service delivery to disadvantaged clients.

The HLS Mississippi Delta Project is committed to improving well-being in the Delta Region and recently began a Mental Health/Substance Abuse Policy Initiative. Mr. Laski’s talk will raise awareness of the type of issues the Initiative is dedicated to addressing.

The event takes place at noon, 4/4, in Wasserstein 3019, and is cosponsored by the Human Rights Advocates, HLS Democrats, Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation, and the Human Rights Journal.  All are welcome to enjoy the talk, and lunch will be provided.
