As the first African American woman Cook County State s Attorney, Kim Foxx took office with a vision to transform it into a fairer, more-forward thinking agency focused on rebuilding public trust, promoting transparency, and being proactive in making all communities safe. How can the State s Attorney prevent violence in Chicago while helping those with mental illness, substance abuse, and homelessness find resources outside the criminal justice system? What role can mental health practitioners take in working with the criminal justice system to achieve these goals? Foxx and Spira will consider the impact of these questions on Chicago, its citizens, and more.
