Hello Readers,
On July 8th Healing Minds NOLA, in partnership with the Matthew Ornstein Memorial Foundation, hosted a screening of the much talked about documentary “Definition of Insanity”; as well as a panel discussion afterward . We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout!
The selfless work of Judge Leifman, and all of our guests who are actively and meaningfully decriminalizing mental illness in their communities, is truly inspiring. If you were unable to attend, the event was recorded and available for review at this link and on our Video Archives page.
Below are additional resources relating to “Definition of Insanity” and jail diversion on which the film is based:
