SUMMARY:Issues & Eggs: Intersection of Behavioral Health and Public Safety
DESCRIPTION:Join the Downtown Austin Alliance on October 7 from 7:30 AM to 9 AM for a continued conversation on mental health and public safety in our community. Since the launch of Travis County’s Mental Health Diversion Pilot\, significant work has been underway to connect individuals in crisis to appropriate care rather than cycling them through the criminal justice system. \nAt this follow-up event\, we will hear from local leaders and practitioners about the progress made since our initial discussion\, including updates on the pilot’s impact\, lessons learned\, and next steps in the planning for a permanent Mental Health Diversion Center update. Speakers will also explore broader efforts to improve access to mental health resources in Austin and Travis County\, and how these initiatives are shaping safer and healthier outcomes for our community. \nThis conversation is an opportunity to check in on the commitments made earlier this year\, learn about early outcomes\, and engage in what’s next for mental health solutions in Austin.

SUMMARY:"The Librarians" Documentary Screening by the Kozmetsky Center
DESCRIPTION:The Kozmetsky Center is excited to host a screening of “The Librarians” during Banned Books Week. Additionally\, we are honored to have Suzette Baker\, the librarian from Llano\, TX\, who refused to pull books from her shelf to sit down with us for a conversation about her experience and the significant role that public libraries play in exercising the first amendment. Enjoy free food & non-alcoholic beverages paid for by the Kozmetsky Center! Plus\, proceeds from the small ticket fee will go towards Munday Library and improving their collection of physical books. \nAbout the film\nIn Texas\, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQia+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate\, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of extremism fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment\, threats\, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale. \nView the trailer here.\nSchedule of events:\n6:30pm – Doors open \n7pm – Film start time (92m) \n8:32pm – Film end time \n8:35pm – A Conversation with Suzette Baker and Dr. David Thomason \n9pm – Event ends
