Navigation Judge Ginger Lerner-Wren honored as community champion for mental health advocacy
Judge Ginger Lerner-Wren: “This Community Champion of Mental Health Award belongs to a courageous community. For me, Broward’s Misdemeanor Mental Health Court will always stand as a symbol of hope. It represents our belief that individuals living with mental illness and co-occurring disorders deserve access to behavioral health treatment, dignity, and compassion — not incarceration.”
The 17th Judicial Circuit Judge Ginger Lerner-Wren has been named the recipient of the Community Champion of Mental Health Award in recognition of her decades-long leadership and advocacy in the field of mental health.
Judge Lerner-Wren was honored on May 22 at the 10th Annual South Florida Behavioral Health Conference, presented by the United Way of Broward County’s Commission on Behavioral Health & Drug Prevention, in partnership with the Broward Behavioral Health Coalition and the Florida Department of Children & Families.
