The Los Angeles County of Mental Health Department (https://dmh.lacounty.gov/) staff has been hard at work keeping LA County residents informed during this period of crisis and uncertainty.  Dr. Sherin and his staff have worked hard at keeping the lines of communication open with stakeholders and community members alike. It’s not uncommon to get numerous emails though out the day alerting members of the disbursement list of their meetings that are being held via teleconference whether by telephone or Skype, providing links to various COVID-19 resources to inform and answer questions that LAC DMH stakeholders and community members may have, and to provide links and for assistance where stakeholders and community members who’ve been financially impacted by COVID-19 and the “shelter in place” order.
