The 40-year old Trieste model demonstrates how a community-based treatment system upholds the human rights of the people served.  The Trieste story is anti-institutional and models the therapeutic value of social connection. Topics will address contemporary challenges in the American failed mental health system as contrasted with the Italian approach toward accoglienza or radical hospitality as the underpinning of their remarkable culture of caring for people. Interviews will touch upon how the guiding principles of the Italian system social recovery, whole person care, system accountability, and the human right to a purposeful life are non-negotiable aspects if we are to have any hope of forging a new way forward in our American mental health system.

He examines why healthcare spending dwarfs public health investment, why public health agencies vary so dramatically from community to community, and why understanding this system matters for everyone.This isn't partisan politics.
