"WHEN SYSTEMS COLLIDE"
A Candidate Forum to Discuss
HARRIS COUNTY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS
One Voice and The Network of Behavioral Health Providers invite you to a Candidates’ Forum at which candidates for key Harris County offices will offer their views on how the office for which they are running and the county can have an impact to ensure that the adult criminal justice system is not the community behavioral health treatment system “safety net”.
It is a well known fact that nation-wide the failure to provide adequate community behavioral health services impacts a community’s criminal justice system. In Harris County, much attention and effort have been paid to providing county inmates needed behavioral health treatment.
But should the Harris County Jail be the largest mental health facility in the state of Texas?
This is a FREE community service event!!

He will be in town for a fundraiser for 3 Repub state representative candidates (Davis, Legler, and Murphy) running against Matula, Thibaut, and Redmond.This means they are running scared.
We are looking for a large crowd with the theme: “Go home Rove. Take Davis with you”. Or something similar.

In order to make this work we need your help. Greater Heights Democratic Club is looking for volunteers to help man the GHDC table for 1 hour shifts.
