Among those responses: providing health and hygiene services at some encampments; creating an on-site navigation center where counseling and housing services can help find people permanent homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeless and housing advocates – including\u003ca href=\"http://www.ebho.org/\"> East Bay Housing Organizations\u003c/a> – support some level of immediate spending on keeping encampments safe and clean. But Oakland officials need to strike a balance between short- and long-term solutions, they say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Absolutely, I think we need some resources set aside for making sure the encampments are compassionate,” said Gloria Bruce, executive director of EBHO, the top local affordable housing advocate. “We’re just really concerned that it’s shortsighted for the City Council to say we’re going to show that we’re addressing homelessness by putting money into these short-term services because affordable housing is the solution to homelessness,” said\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Two Bond Measures Aren’t Enough\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If housing is the solution, Oakland is in a hole. State and federal governments have been cutting funds that cities were using for affordable housing over the years. Alameda County has lost about 74 percent of its state and federal affordable housing funding since 2008, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://1p08d91kd0c03rlxhmhtydpr.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Alameda-County-2017.pdf\">California Housing Partnership Corp\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters in Alameda County passed a $580 million affordable housing bond measure last fall, while Oakland voters also passed a measure that included $100 million for affordable housing. At least 20 percent of both bonds have to go to housing for extremely low-income households. These are the dollars that will serve the homeless population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are not enough, but they are an excellent start,” said Elaine de Coligny, executive director of EveryOne Home, which manages Alameda County’s homeless care system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of housing the bonds will generate is difficult to estimate, depending on land prices and project negotiations. But in general, lower-income housing costs more to build and often requires subsidies like government vouchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing experts estimate the county bond could create hundreds of units, maybe more than a thousand, for homeless residents. But the need is likely more than 10 times that amount, said de Coligny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is shocking and disheartening — but not unbelievable — that after 20-plus years of spending increasingly less on housing, we are that far behind,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland also needs to create more affordable housing where residents also receive social service supports. Permanent supportive housing is often touted by advocates as being the answer to solving homelessness, but it’s expensive. It costs thousands of dollars per person annually to maintain, although there are cost savings from fewer emergency room visits and reduced incarceration that more than make up those costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lataisha Cork, who uses a wheelchair to get around her encampment underneath Interstate 580 in West Oakland, said she needs these kinds of supports and was getting them in a rehab program she was in for a couple of years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Your medications come on time, you eat there, you’ve got different friends, you go on trips, outings,” she said. “I miss it so much. I regret it. I left because I thought I could make it on my own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Oakland’s First Priority Is to Get People Off Streets, Temporarily\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Oakland City Council has committed $14 million to purchase at least one building to create a temporary residence for about 300 people annually who will receive counseling and housing services to get them into permanent homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A similar “navigation center” program exists in Oakland. It’s run by Bay Area Community Services through the downtown Henry Robinson facility and had more than an 80 percent success rate at finding housing solutions for those it served last year. In many cases, people didn’t have housing vouchers or program subsidies to help them pay rent, said Daniel Cooperman, program director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s about finding unique solutions,” he said. “A lot of it is a single room in a single-family residence, or matching people up with roommates,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooperman said if BACS was able to operate a second Henry Robinson facility he’s confident the program would be just as successful. But he acknowledges that finding people permanent homes is more difficult when more people are searching.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How Encampments Are Trying to Survive\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, tension around encampments is growing.

These abatements are costly and ineffective, according to \u003ca href=\"https://gspp.berkeley.edu/assets/uploads/page/15-13160_-_Goldman_Student_Report_-_Final_Draft_-_May_11_2015_reduced_size.pdf.pdf\">a UC Berkeley report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11535394\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11535394\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2773-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2773-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2773-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2773-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2773-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2773-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2773-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2773-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2773-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2773-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeffrey Hill lives in a tent encampment near Fifth and Brush streets in West Oakland.

Hill wants the city to provide bathrooms and sanitary stations to his encampment. \u003ccite>(Devin Katayama/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The City Council is scheduled to pass a budget Thursday that is likely to include several short-term responses that deal specifically with homeless encampments. Among those responses: providing health and hygiene services at some encampments; creating an on-site navigation center where counseling and housing services can help find people permanent homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeless and housing advocates – including\u003ca href=\"http://www.ebho.org/\"> East Bay Housing Organizations\u003c/a> – support some level of immediate spending on keeping encampments safe and clean. But Oakland officials need to strike a balance between short- and long-term solutions, they say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Absolutely, I think we need some resources set aside for making sure the encampments are compassionate,” said Gloria Bruce, executive director of EBHO, the top local affordable housing advocate. “We’re just really concerned that it’s shortsighted for the City Council to say we’re going to show that we’re addressing homelessness by putting money into these short-term services because affordable housing is the solution to homelessness,” said\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Two Bond Measures Aren’t Enough\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If housing is the solution, Oakland is in a hole. State and federal governments have been cutting funds that cities were using for affordable housing over the years. Alameda County has lost about 74 percent of its state and federal affordable housing funding since 2008, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://1p08d91kd0c03rlxhmhtydpr.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Alameda-County-2017.pdf\">California Housing Partnership Corp\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters in Alameda County passed a $580 million affordable housing bond measure last fall, while Oakland voters also passed a measure that included $100 million for affordable housing. At least 20 percent of both bonds have to go to housing for extremely low-income households. These are the dollars that will serve the homeless population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are not enough, but they are an excellent start,” said Elaine de Coligny, executive director of EveryOne Home, which manages Alameda County’s homeless care system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of housing the bonds will generate is difficult to estimate, depending on land prices and project negotiations. But in general, lower-income housing costs more to build and often requires subsidies like government vouchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing experts estimate the county bond could create hundreds of units, maybe more than a thousand, for homeless residents. But the need is likely more than 10 times that amount, said de Coligny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is shocking and disheartening — but not unbelievable — that after 20-plus years of spending increasingly less on housing, we are that far behind,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland also needs to create more affordable housing where residents also receive social service supports. Permanent supportive housing is often touted by advocates as being the answer to solving homelessness, but it’s expensive. It costs thousands of dollars per person annually to maintain, although there are cost savings from fewer emergency room visits and reduced incarceration that more than make up those costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lataisha Cork, who uses a wheelchair to get around her encampment underneath Interstate 580 in West Oakland, said she needs these kinds of supports and was getting them in a rehab program she was in for a couple of years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Your medications come on time, you eat there, you’ve got different friends, you go on trips, outings,” she said. “I miss it so much. I regret it. I left because I thought I could make it on my own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Oakland’s First Priority Is to Get People Off Streets, Temporarily\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Oakland City Council has committed $14 million to purchase at least one building to create a temporary residence for about 300 people annually who will receive counseling and housing services to get them into permanent homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A similar “navigation center” program exists in Oakland. It’s run by Bay Area Community Services through the downtown Henry Robinson facility and had more than an 80 percent success rate at finding housing solutions for those it served last year. In many cases, people didn’t have housing vouchers or program subsidies to help them pay rent, said Daniel Cooperman, program director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s about finding unique solutions,” he said. “A lot of it is a single room in a single-family residence, or matching people up with roommates,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooperman said if BACS was able to operate a second Henry Robinson facility he’s confident the program would be just as successful. But he acknowledges that finding people permanent homes is more difficult when more people are searching.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How Encampments Are Trying to Survive\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, tension around encampments is growing. In data provided to KQED, the Oakland Fire Department reports there were 58 fires related to homeless encampments in 2016.

But Kershaw thinks it's probably because of a combination of factors, including experiencing less stress from being exposed to less violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a decent-size body of evidence relating stress to blood pressure and that's one pathway that we hypothesize that segregation influences health — through exposure to violence, things like that — that could increase your stress level and then potentially influence blood pressure,\" Kershaw says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less-segregated neighborhoods may also provide more economic opportunities for people and their children and access to better schools, which could also reduce stress, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, those neighborhoods may also make it easier to live healthier lifestyles by having more access to parks, sidewalks, gyms, grocery stores with more fresh produce and pharmacies to get medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers found the difference in blood pressure persisted after accounting for other factors that could have played a role, such as changes in income and education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kershaw acknowledges, however, that moving to less segregated neighborhoods could increase stress in at least one way — by potentially exposing African-Americans to more racism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's certainly possible that those who move to less segregated neighborhoods experience more exposure to racism, which could be one reason why some African-Americans choose to stay in more segregated neighborhoods,\" she wrote in an email. She noted that African-Americans living in more segregated neighborhoods tend to have better mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kershaw says her study found there was an overall beneficial ffect on blood pressure of leaving a segregated neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The take-home message is that policies that can allow people who are living in segregated neighborhoods to move and live in more integrated neighborhoods have some spillover effects that influences health like blood pressures,\" Kershaw says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others agree. \"This study is really important,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/ashish-jha/\">Ashish Jha\u003c/a>, who studies health policy at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and was not involved in the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It helps us really feel much more confident that there's something about segregation itself that's leading to worse health outcomes,\" Jha says. \"And this study says that we really do have to tackle segregation if we're going to really improve the health of minorities in America.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

She’s acutely conscious of her hygiene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t feel like just because I’m homeless that I have to look the part,” she said, while walking by a tent encampment under a freeway in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet Jones grew up at great risk for homelessness: Her mother died when she was 5, and her father was fatally shot when she was just a newborn. She spent years in foster care, and since age 19 has essentially been homeless: bouncing between relatives, group homes and shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Trunk-Sized Safe Space\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A year ago, Jones had a bed in a transitional home for former foster youth. She explained she lost that spot when she broke the rules, letting a guest in when she wasn’t supposed to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, she sleeps where she can: couches and floors when they’re offered, buses and BART trains when they’re not. She always carries a change of clothes, laundry detergent and toiletries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few weeks ago, Jones stayed up all night on a San Francisco pier, and a week before that at a 24-hour Carl’s Jr. When that happens, she heads to a BART station by 4 a.m., to catch the day’s first train. Aside from a friend’s apartment, it’s the only place she feels safe actually falling asleep. A few hours later, she wakes and drags herself off, eager to avoid the stares of the rush-hour crowds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"qX6cO3dkrSWbMdIuXgcrvh51LvzEiRWM\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After graduating from high school in Antioch, Jones wasn’t convinced college was for her. Instead, she came to the conclusion gradually while working overnight jobs as a security guard or grocery stocker. Years went by, but she never advanced financially or professionally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to go to college to better myself, honestly,” Jones said. “I want to be in a totally better situation. I know school is the key.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones calls \u003ca href=\"http://www.laney.edu/wp/\" target=\"_blank\">Laney College\u003c/a>, near Lake Merritt in Oakland, one of her “safe zones.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This semester she is taking an English class and a life-skills class. As a low-income student, she receives a monthly food stipend for the campus cafeteria. But none of her classmates know she is homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones has another safe zone: a stuffy storage locker no bigger than a car trunk in industrial West Oakland. She’ll spend a few hours a day there doing homework, organizing her belongings or writing in her journal.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Moving Forward\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As more colleges and universities gain an understanding of the scope of housing and food insecurity among their students, they’re experimenting with solutions. Some campuses have established \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article41478480.html\" target=\"_blank\">food pantries\u003c/a>, and others provide short-term housing for students in crisis, or those who have nowhere to go for the holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September, California enacted new laws to assist homeless college students. Community colleges, for example, must grant homeless students priority when registering for classes, allow them \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/09/21/governor-signs-bills-to-help-homeless-college-students-and-boost-4-year-graduation-rates/\" target=\"_blank\">access to campus showers\u003c/a> and designate a staff person to assist them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students are also organizing: UC Berkeley now has a Homeless Student Union, and in October two UCLA students opened the Bruin Shelter in Santa Monica for anyone enrolled at UCLA or other schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James de la Nueve, a civil engineering student at Santa Monica College, is one of the shelter’s first residents. He was kicked out of his house after a family fight, and said the shelter helps keep him focused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m trying to be on the academic track,” he said. “I’m not trying to continue being on the streets forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rashida Crutchfield at CSU Long Beach likes the idea of a college shelter, but said it’s not enough. If she were a student, she said, “It’s important to maybe catch me before I'm homeless and make sure I'm getting the financial support that I need, or getting access to support services that I need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11211588\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11211588\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Residents and volunteers study at the Bruin Shelter, a new shelter for homeless college students in Santa Monica.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Residents and volunteers study at the Bruin Shelter, a new shelter for homeless college students in Santa Monica. \u003ccite>(April Dembosky/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Internal Support\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For Brittany Jones, the daily search for shelter is an awkward social tiptoe.

She spent years in foster care, and since age 19 has essentially been homeless: bouncing between relatives, group homes and shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Trunk-Sized Safe Space\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A year ago, Jones had a bed in a transitional home for former foster youth. She explained she lost that spot when she broke the rules, letting a guest in when she wasn’t supposed to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, she sleeps where she can: couches and floors when they’re offered, buses and BART trains when they’re not. She always carries a change of clothes, laundry detergent and toiletries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few weeks ago, Jones stayed up all night on a San Francisco pier, and a week before that at a 24-hour Carl’s Jr. When that happens, she heads to a BART station by 4 a.m., to catch the day’s first train. Aside from a friend’s apartment, it’s the only place she feels safe actually falling asleep. A few hours later, she wakes and drags herself off, eager to avoid the stares of the rush-hour crowds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After graduating from high school in Antioch, Jones wasn’t convinced college was for her. Instead, she came to the conclusion gradually while working overnight jobs as a security guard or grocery stocker. Years went by, but she never advanced financially or professionally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to go to college to better myself, honestly,” Jones said. “I want to be in a totally better situation. I know school is the key.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones calls \u003ca href=\"http://www.laney.edu/wp/\" target=\"_blank\">Laney College\u003c/a>, near Lake Merritt in Oakland, one of her “safe zones.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This semester she is taking an English class and a life-skills class. As a low-income student, she receives a monthly food stipend for the campus cafeteria. But none of her classmates know she is homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones has another safe zone: a stuffy storage locker no bigger than a car trunk in industrial West Oakland. She’ll spend a few hours a day there doing homework, organizing her belongings or writing in her journal.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Moving Forward\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As more colleges and universities gain an understanding of the scope of housing and food insecurity among their students, they’re experimenting with solutions. Some campuses have established \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article41478480.html\" target=\"_blank\">food pantries\u003c/a>, and others provide short-term housing for students in crisis, or those who have nowhere to go for the holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September, California enacted new laws to assist homeless college students. Community colleges, for example, must grant homeless students priority when registering for classes, allow them \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/09/21/governor-signs-bills-to-help-homeless-college-students-and-boost-4-year-graduation-rates/\" target=\"_blank\">access to campus showers\u003c/a> and designate a staff person to assist them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students are also organizing: UC Berkeley now has a Homeless Student Union, and in October two UCLA students opened the Bruin Shelter in Santa Monica for anyone enrolled at UCLA or other schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James de la Nueve, a civil engineering student at Santa Monica College, is one of the shelter’s first residents. He was kicked out of his house after a family fight, and said the shelter helps keep him focused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m trying to be on the academic track,” he said. “I’m not trying to continue being on the streets forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rashida Crutchfield at CSU Long Beach likes the idea of a college shelter, but said it’s not enough. If she were a student, she said, “It’s important to maybe catch me before I'm homeless and make sure I'm getting the financial support that I need, or getting access to support services that I need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11211588\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11211588\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Residents and volunteers study at the Bruin Shelter, a new shelter for homeless college students in Santa Monica.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Residents and volunteers study at the Bruin Shelter, a new shelter for homeless college students in Santa Monica. \u003ccite>(April Dembosky/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Internal Support\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For Brittany Jones, the daily search for shelter is an awkward social tiptoe.

One of the participants asked another a constant barrage of basic questions, such as what is your name, where do you work. At the same time, another participant said distracting things through a funnel positioned in the ear of the person trying to answer the questions. “Don’t trust him!” the woman with the funnel said. “He’s looking at you, why is he looking at you? Why would he want to talk to you? He’s looking at you!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later in the session, Allen points out to the participants that the first instinct when dealing with a person affected by a mental health crisis might be to call the police.

At the same time, another participant said distracting things through a funnel positioned in the ear of the person trying to answer the questions. “Don’t trust him!” the woman with the funnel said. “He’s looking at you, why is he looking at you? Why would he want to talk to you? He’s looking at you!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later in the session, Allen points out to the participants that the first instinct when dealing with a person affected by a mental health crisis might be to call the police. Unless there is an immediate threat, that may not be the best choice, she said, because it could “escalate the situation.” That can be especially dangerous in minority communities where distrust and fear on both sides can lead to violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It leads people of color to some dire consequences, in terms of being killed, injured or incarcerated as opposed to them getting the treatment that they need for the mental disorder,” Allen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an alternative, she suggested to people being trained that they should consider a 24-hour crisis prevention telephone hotline or a suicide hotline phone number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yvette Frazier, one of Allen’s congregants in the training, put those numbers on her cellphone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that it’s important to recognize,” she said, “that when someone is having some difficulties in church we don’t get scared and run away, regardless of whatever their disorders may be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was produced as a project for the California Health Journalism Fellowship, a program of the Center for Health Journalism at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/stateofhealth/119817/oakland-minister-inspires-churchgoers-to-address-mental-health","authors":["byline_stateofhealth_119817"],"categories":["stateofhealth_11"],"tags":["stateofhealth_68","stateofhealth_2519","stateofhealth_145"],"featImg":"stateofhealth_119820","label":"source_stateofhealth_119817"},"stateofhealth_11901":{"type":"posts","id":"stateofhealth_11901","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"stateofhealth","id":"11901","score":null,"sort":[1365015995000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"a-womans-search-for-a-drug-free-mental-health-solution","title":"A Woman's Search for Mental Health -- Beyond Medication","publishDate":1365015995,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Vital Signs | State of Health | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":2363,"site":"stateofhealth"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's Note: Many Americans seek prescription medication to manage stress, anxiety and depression.
