Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ? · Dr Aaron Meyer and Ann Marie Council part 2: Breaking the Cycle: Why Serious Mental Illness Deserves Better Than Jail or the Streets · 24 Jun 2026 podcast

So I think we definitely need to fix where people can get the treatment.

And then I think access will also improve.

I just want to say that that is just so spot on with needing the continuum of housing.

And I don't think I understood that as much until I got into this work.

But if you imagine, there's so many different reasons that someone is homeless.

If someone lost their job, had no family, maybe they immigrated from another country, maybe they just need that housing and they can get back on their feet.

But if someone has severe substance use disorder, they are at the point where all they want is their next fix and they may not care about themselves.

So how are they going to care about anything else?

So they get a brand new apartment and what do they do?

Well, they destroy it because they don't have respect for themselves.

Why would they care about their surroundings?

It makes the apartment look like they feel inside.

But if we give housing that heals where we have treatment and we have housing and we have opportunity, then I think that's the only thing that's going to work.

Housing first cannot work with the severely mentally ill.

I would say when you hear something, question it.

In other words, just because Dr. Meyer and I are explaining our experiences, question it, research it, make sure that you're making your own decision.

One thing that I have a really hard time with is information coming out that is just not true.

I remember when Dr. Meyer was talking as a subject matter expert on LPS and the opposite side of the conversation who was against involuntary treatment said, oh my gosh, this is Britney Spears all over again.

Well, someone in the audience might think, oh, Britney Spears, that was a terrible situation.

What they don't realize is it has nothing to do with LPS.
