My current work 2018, 2019 photographs and video clips used by Perhimpunan Jiwa Sehat-Indonesian Mental Health Association (PJS) for an urgent report launched in meetings with the Government of Indonesia and released publicly. PJS is requesting emergency COVID-19 oversight and aid for underserved social care institutions housing Indonesians with a real or perceived psychosocial disability. There is no data base or list of these facilities. No one knows how many exist or where they are. Along with this video accompaniment PJS and other local NGO's have put together practical suggestions to help prevent what could be the next COVID-19 hotspots. I am honored and relieved to have been able to contribute what I have and what I know to this urgent report.
