OUR California POLICY DIRECTOR

Meet Jacqueline janssen

CONTACT JACQUELINE
​Jacqueline Janssen is an advocate for families affected by mental illness and a leading voice for collaborative mental health reform. Jacqueline serves on NSSC's Policy Action Committee, and is also our Policy Director for California.

​She is a former Director on the local National Alliance on Mental Illness Board, Commissioner on the County Mental Health Board, and one of the creators of the Family Partnership Policy.
Picture
Her fifth book, Every Homeless Person Has a Mother, will be released in fall 2025, citing evidence that exclusion of mothers and families contributes to homelessness and clinician-family collaboration prevents it.

A UC Berkeley graduate, she is a member of the International Association for Feminist Economics. For decades she placed leaders in organizations for social justice. She travels the globe with her husband, witnessing cultures Americans would consider impoverished, but where homelessness is rare, due to the strength of families.
