Innovations Exchange: Please tell us about yourself and your work.

I am a psychiatrist by training. While I did not receive specialized training in child psychiatry, I have always considered myself a “community” psychiatrist—that is, I serve anyone in the community who needs help. In the early 1980s, I found myself caring for a lot of children, as there were few if any child psychiatrists on the southwest side of Chicago. Most of these children were failing in school and had behavioral problems. Talking with them, it became apparent that many had seen—and in some cases been victims of—violence at home and/or in their communities. I began writing about the link between violence and childhood mental health and behavioral issues at that time, including publishing data that demonstrated the link. However, not many people paid attention.

In 1987, I became chief executive officer (CEO) of the Community Mental Health Council, a comprehensive community mental health center serving south and southwest Chicago that provides psychiatric services to adults and children, including residential housing, psychiatric emergency services, psychotherapy, vocational rehabilitation, day treatment, and consultation and education services. The Council has 3 main offices for outpatient services, 10 residential facilities, and psychiatric emergency rooms located within 2 general hospitals.
