Dr. Sherin, How specifically will you be working to help people actually find their way to services? Your budget is enormous, but it seems that every one in LA County has a hand in the MH delivery system and there's no way for people (or their loved ones) to find what they need in a timely and consistent way. In other words, lots of $ seems to be wasted on lots of bureaucracy but so few actually the help they need. How will you work to fix this? And welcome to your new gig!

When will you be doing another AMA and with a really fast typist so you can get to more even more of the great questions?!

How -- specifically -- will you be working on addressing the tremendous amount of inequality in the MH service delivery system across LAC?

A follow-up on peers. Paid positions? If so, how will that funding impact other programs? And what about training and other efforts to make certain standards are adhered to? I'm a great advocate of peers supporting recovery, but have seen it go wrong in far too many places and in oh so many ways.

The welcoming fashion comment regarding service delivery is so critical and almost always ignored. Hugely important that this is part of what is considered, and that both qualitative and quantitative data be included in your review as well. Thanks!
