Despite the increased attention paid to mental health issues, people with mental health needs are still too often confronted with handcuffs and jail time rather than treatment. Our Broken Record interactive is an eye-opening and heart-rending digital media experience telling the story of how people with mental health struggles end up in Ontario’s criminal justice system and the destructive consequences that result for these individuals, their families, taxpayers, and all of society. If you want to learn more about the costs and heartbreak of this broken system, but also learn about our recommendations for change and reasons for hope, check out the interactive here:  https://lnkd.in/e7zJJMv #MIAW2024
