The California Chapter of the National Shattering Silence Coalition (NSSC) is a rapidly expanding legislative force within our 31-State Alliance. Directed by State Policy Director Jacqueline Janssen alongside Southern California Regional Policy Co-Directors Cindy Breor and June Dudas, our coalition is mobilizing to mandate a new era of Medical Accountability across all 58 counties.

We established our unified California leadership structure to scale a singular mission: dismantling the state’s catastrophic Standard of Neglect. By weaponizing ground-truth evidence, leveraging the proven Marin Model of family partnership, and fighting for structural legislative guardrails like SB 1016, our directors are actively turning family heartbreak into enforceable state mandates.

Our rapidly growing membership represents an unyielding coalition of families, peers, and clinical professionals who have survived the failures of California’s emergency departments, CARE Courts, and forensic systems. We bring the forensic clarity and strategic urgency required to end the criminalization of no-fault brain disease and guarantee that continuous medical treatment is the default response for Serious Mental Illness in the Golden State.
