Jerome Golden Center Closes
The Jerome Golden Center for Behavioral Health in Palm Beach County closed in October, leaving 3,800 indigent patients without necessary services. It was the only publicly run mental health facility in the county. The center shut down because of financial mismanagement. The county has since stepped in to help. Former patients at the Jerome Golden Center can now call a 211 helpline to access needed services. Nancy Bolton is an assistant county administrator. She explained how the county is responding to the needs of the mentally ill in Palm Beach.
NPR Podcast Hidden Brain
The NPR podcast Hidden Brain explores the subconscious drivers that control human behavior and our relationships with others. Shankar Vendantam is NPR’s social science correspondent and the show’s host. “Much of our lives happens outside of our conscious awareness. And by trying to be aware of some of those forces, we can live more conscious, more intentional and more meaningful lives.” Sundial's Luis Hernandez spoke with Vandatam about how he got into journalism and their process of putting the show together.
