In Los Angeles, California, there is a smaller City within a City. The smaller one is the City where its citizens live and die on the street. The numbers are staggering. At the last approximate count, there were over 75,000 people trying to survive unhoused and, at the same time, thousands who are dying. Only a few years ago the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) started a pioneering and creative response to this widespread area crisis. It is a program referred to as Street Psychiatry and often called a “radical solution”. It is radical because the medical and therapeutic care given to those in critical need is offered on the streets, creating a kind of outdoor emergency room. Listen to the guest on this episode, Aubree Lovelace, Chief Administrator over the HOME (Homeless, Outreach, Mobile, Engagement) Team and learn about those LACDMH staff making an effort to save lives, just in an usual day's work. The Team is made up of Psychiatrists, Social Workers, Nurses and Peer members. You will be hearing from several HOME Team staff in upcoming episodes. Each of them individually and together, face those living in the streets in the most critical situations. They are people with such a severe mental illness that they have lost the ability to take care of their most basic needs. Referrals to all the benefits and services of the HOME Team program usually come from other homeless outreach providers and also Police Officers, family members and community members. The program has grown because of the HOME Team's successes which means having a person on the street accept medicines that reduce their mental illness enough that they may begin to accept help toward housing and even reunification with family when possible. It is a humanitarian war out there on the streets of Los Angeles and funding to expand an army of dedicated mental health staff to offer services can prevent the more costly events that bring homeless to the hospitals, clinics and jails. The LACDMH 24/7 access number for help is 1-800-854-7771 The National Suicide Crisis Line is #988

Whether it's learning to be disciples, worshiping together, or reaching out to others, this episode reminds us of the church's role as a vibrant, God-centered community committed to The Jesus Way.

In a time when phrases such as quiet quitting, the great resignation, and employee disengagement continue to gain traction, it is vital that we as leaders talk about employee engagement. While occasionally, it's better for employees to leave and move on, in most cases that loss of great talent could have been avoided. When leaders create alignment and help people see and even co-create their purpose at work, they inspire good work and foster loyalty. In essence, it is on you as a leader to be intentional in helping your direct reports connect to a meaningful job purpose instead of just their list of responsibilities. The former excites, but the latter seems bland at its core. In this week's episode of The Manager Track podcast, I am joined by Steve Curtin. He is a best-selling author who just released a new book, The Revelation Conversation. He's also a speaker and expert on customer service, management, and leadership and is on a mission to create better teams and higher employee engagement. — RESOURCES MENTIONED — Find Steve's books on Amazon: The Revelation Conversation: Inspire Greater Employee Engagement by Connecting to Purpose Delight Your Customers: 7 Simple Ways to Raise Your Customer Service from Ordinary to Extraordinary Connect with Steve: stevecurtin.com Twitter LinkedIn Learn how to turn your 1-on-1 meetings from time wasters, awkward moments, status updates, or non-existent into your most important and valuable meeting with your directs all week.

Welcome back!  What a fantastic interview we have this episode with David Campbell. He's currently the global Senior Director of Quality - Sensor Solutions at TE Connectivity. What makes Dave uncommon is his passion for developing himself and others on his team, his love for family and friends, and his bias for action mindset. You're not going to want to miss his mantra at the end of the podcast. Three key takeaways that I had from Dave's message:1) Leadership development doesn't happen in a classroom or a seminar, but rather through habits you intentionally choose every day. 2) Don't rely on others to develop your team, engage with your team, and they will engage back with you thus improving the relationship that you have with those team members as well. 3) Stop listening to others (or your own inner critic) and go and get something done!Connect with Dave on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidalancampbel/If you enjoyed this episode and are listening on Apple podcasts, please help this podcast reach more people and give us a rating and review.
