For 72 hours in April 2022, nearly two dozen journalists with sdut spread across the county to learn about San Diego's mental health crisis. The reporting found a system overwhelmed at every step.
Things were hardly better in hospitals. During the three-day period, there were 742 psychiatric beds available in the county, and during that time many facilities reported few, if any, empty spaces.
Yet the region has no comprehensive real-time system for tracking when behavioral health beds are available, making it nearly impossible to know when the county teeters at capacity. At the end of last April, one person in Sharp Mesa Vista had been there 242 days. Scripps had a patient for 530 days. Another patient at the Psychiatric Hospital of San Diego County hit 711 days.
Unsurprisingly, the largest provider of mental health care in the county isn’t a hospital system or a nonprofit or a crisis center. It’s jails.
