My guest for this week’s podcast is Judge Ginger Lerner-Wren.
Judge Lerner-Wren pioneered the first therapeutic mental health court in the United States, dedicated to the safe decriminalization of people with mental illness and neurological disorders. She recently wrote a book entitled A Court of Refuge: Stories from the Bench of America's First Mental Health Court.
In our conversation, Judge Lerner-Wren discusses her own story of becoming a judge and mental health advocate and her passion for social justice, particularly on behalf of those who live with mental illness.
