Local leaders say the individual is now getting help. But what about people on the street who have severe mental illnesses?
The unhoused person being sprayed in front of a North Beach gallery is known by some people as "Q."
North Beach Citizens is a homeless services nonprofit in San Francisco. Executive Director Kristie Fairchild met Q when the pandemic first began."I have observed her walking in the middle of the street, being naked on the street, screaming," said Fairchild. "In my clinical lay person observation of doing this for 20 years, she's probably experiencing schizophrenia.
According to Wiener, about one-third of homeless people suffer from mental health or addiction problems. He said we need to have more treatment available for them.Not everyone needs conservatorship. But for the small minority of people who do, Wiener said we need more mental health beds and more infrastructure---be it hospitals or supportive housing.
"We need it to make it less hard to get them into conservatorship. It's about saving their lives," said Wiener.She said that conservatorship should only be used in rare situations where people are harmful to themselves or to others. Or it would be for those who are so gravely disabled and cannot care for themselves.
"It's sometimes necessary. But, it should not be our go-to tool to address mental health issues," said Friedenbach.
