With nearly 20 years of experience providing direct care and support to individuals experiencing chronic and acute mental illness, involvement in the justice system, and unsheltered homelessness, Aubree Lovelace is deeply committed to person-centered, field-based service delivery. Throughout her career, she has specialized in engaging individuals with complex needs through best-practice interventions that prioritize dignity, safety, and recovery.

Over the last decade, she has been instrumental in program development and design, as well as policy change and implementation, within the largest public mental health system in the country. Working across Los Angeles County, she has built extensive experience in coordinating and collaborating with homeless outreach systems, law enforcement, the carceral system, and behavioral health field and crisis teams. Her work has focused on bridging gaps between mental health services and the justice system through diversion efforts, crisis response, and support for individuals at risk of or undergoing involuntary hospitalization.

Grounded in evidence-based practices and guided by compassion, she continues to advocate for systemic collaboration and innovative approaches that reduce barriers to care for some of the county’s most vulnerable residents. The creation of Coordinated Care LA affords Aubree the opportunity to share the breadth of her experience to others hoping to be change makers.
