About the event

Advocating for Someone in a mental Health Crisis

Presented by Eunice Brownlee

When someone is in a mental health crisis, they are often unable to think clearly or rationally, much less communicate what they need (and what they want) as far as care is concerned. In many states, this leaves people feeling helpless or being pushed into mandatory treatments against their will. In this webinar, learn how to advocate for someone who is unable to do it for themselves. Participants will be able to (1) Recognize when someone is unable to communicate what they want regarding their own mental health care; (2) Understand laws or policies that can trigger mandatory response (e.g. 24 hour inpatient holds) and how to avoid them; and (3) Find and access appropriate resources for the situation at hand.

This is a 1.5-hour training session that will be hosted on Thursday, October 20, 2022.

Session Times: 10:30am-12:00pm…
