The politics of mental pathology

March 13, 5:30 - 7 p.m.

Online

In the new era of politics, the psychological manipulation of voters is seen as more expedient than offering and driving solutions for citizens' core issues. In Social Media's stupor, the truth seems to be freely opposed, devalued, or at best ignored. To win public office today, performance politics and tugging on constituents' emotional strings are increasingly more powerful tools than offering field expertise and policy solutions. This unmooring from reality is contagious, numbing, and self-sustaining; it is the biggest threat to our democracy.

In a wide-ranging and timely conversation with Jonathan Lemire, world-renowned forensic psychiatrist Dr. Bandy Lee will share insights on the importance of mental fitness in candidates and also the collective mental health of their core supporters. Dr. Lee points out the ineffectiveness of traditional methods of fighting misinformation and emphasizes the crucial role politically unaffiliated, neutral mental health professionals could play in explaining the mass psychosis and mitigating its growth. She also offers guidance on how we can all contribute to restoring faith in democratic institutions and in truth.

Time will be allocated for Q&A.

Cosponsored by Harvard and Princeton Clubs of Washington DC

Input Needed About Housing

From City Planning Consultants:

The City of La Crosse, in partnership with RDG Planning & Design, is conducting a community housing assessment. The assessment aims to identify and develop strategies to meet current and future needs for adequate, safe, and attainable housing in La Crosse. The following is an invitation from RDG to participate in the next round of public input.

After a successful first batch of listening sessions and meetings last week, we are ready to launch our community surveys – and we’d like your help! Below are the links to our online surveys:

Community Survey (English): https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LaCrosseHousingStudy

Community Survey (Spanish): https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9CGTMWW

Visit the city web site for .pdfs of the survey which may be printed out and distributed to those who may otherwise be unlikely or unable to complete the survey online. If you take/distribute paper surveys, please ensure they are returned to Mara Keyes, City Planning, by April 1 for recording.

The more responses we receive, the better, so after you take the survey, please share these surveys far and wide with your friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, and others.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know! We’re happy to help.

Thank you,
