Earlier today, the San Francisco Interfaith Council (SFIC) hosted the 65th in a series of COVID-19 response briefings for faith leaders. Today's briefing featured a presentation by San Francisco Department of Public Health (DPH) Director of Behavioral Health Services & Mental Health SF Dr. Hillary Kunins, MD, MPH, MS, who shared DPH's new initiatives and priorities to improve access to care and substance use treatment, reduce overdose deaths, and reach people experiencing homelessness. Dr. Kunins' presentation also acknowledged the important role of faith leaders as partners in our City's mental health support system and her desire for further engagement with our sector.
Also participating were Zoom Briefing Moderator/SFIC Executive Director Michael Pappas, SFIC Founder and Past Chair Rita R. Semel, and Third Baptist Church Associate Minister/UCSF Department of Family & Community Medicine Research Faculty/SF African American Faith-Based Coalition Executive Director Rev. Dr. Jonathan Butler. Special appreciation is extended to SFIC Program/Administrative Associate Cynthia Zamboukos and Enceladus Event Production and ConsultingPrincipal Tre Russell Allen.
Please join us on Thursday, November 18, 2021, at 8:30 am when we will hear from Northern California Field Staff Personnel Vanessa Greer on the workings of the Citizens Redistricting Commission.
