After over a year of construction that shut down the Wisconsin Avenue entrance to our alley and impeded access to GMC, we are so happy to announce that both sides of our alley are open once again! This will make it much easier for our guests to access the center, as well as for volunteers and donors, to reach us. Feel free to visit us via Wisconsin Avenue!

We know you’ve probably already read the latest issue of Washington Psychiatrist and seen our article, but in case you haven’t, it’s on pages 9-12: Assisted Outpatient Treatment for Homeless Individuals with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness: An Interdisciplinary Conversation
Gunther and Dr. Michael Morse, one of our consulting psychiatrists, teamed up with two of our board members, Kathryn Cohen and Reverend John Graham, to each write about the need for assisted outpatient treatment (AOT). Kathryn, who works as an attorney for Treatment Advocacy Center, wrote about the need for AOT from a policy standpoint. Reverend Graham tied his experiences interacting with our guests to the Bible, and Dr. Morse talked about medical ethics and how AOT is an ethical way of helping those with mental illness.
We hope you’ll read all of these great perspectives!
