Webinar Description:
Join ISPS-US for a compelling webinar exploring the Trieste Model, Italy's revolutionary, community-based approach to mental healthcare, and its radical implications for US systems. The Trieste Model represents a profound commitment to full community integration, built on an ethos of accoglienza (Radical Hospitality). Unlike the US experience of deinstitutionalization, Trieste successfully closed its large asylum decades ago and redirected the entire institutional budget to create a robust, supportive network. This network is centered on 24/7 Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) and prioritizes holistic human needs, offering integrated community living, social supports, and opportunities for work and economic life. Discover how the Trieste Model’s core principles, where freedom is therapeutic, can inform sustainable change and the development of a more holistic, rights-based system in the American healthcare landscape, challenging the reliance on jails and hospitals as the default care system. This webinar features Dr. Tommaso Bonavigo from Trieste, joined by members of The Équipe, a diverse learning community of mental health service and policy leaders, who recently completed an intensive study trip to Trieste, led by Heart Forward LA. Dedicated to challenging the institutional status quo in the US, panelists will discuss how lessons learned from Trieste are being practically integrated into American systems and the structural and practical considerations required for successful adoption. Presenters Travis Atkinson, MS, LPC, Tommaso Bonavigo, MD, Kerry Morrison, MA, Morgan Shields, PhD. Read their full bios below.
