Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2430415/fan_mail/new] You guys, did you know there are exactly 3 reasons the system can force you into a psychiatric hold and most of us have never heard any of them? In this clip Ashleigh, a licensed social worker and former 988 crisis responder, breaks it all the way down in language that actually makes sense. Key topics covered in this clip: * The 3 legal criteria that give the system authority to hold someone against their will: danger to self, danger to others, and gravely disabled, and what each one actually looks like in real life * When a voluntary 988 call can flip into a forced psychiatric hold and what that process looks like from the inside * What gravely disabled really means including severe substance use, inability to secure food and shelter, and delusional thinking that prevents someone from caring for themselves * How some homeless individuals have learned to use the psychiatric system as a survival tool during harsh weather when shelters are full * The truth about caregiver burnout and why some families are dropping off autistic adults and children at the ER just to get a break from a situation they have no support for * Why marijuana can trigger a full psychosis episode depending on the strain and what that looks like when crisis workers show up * How social workers protect their own mental health after delivering death notifications, sitting with grieving families, and absorbing some of the heaviest moments a person can witness About Ashleigh: Ashleigh holds a Master's in Social Work earned during the pandemic while raising two kids. She has served on the 988 crisis response team at the county level, conducted 5150 psychiatric evaluations, and now works as a medical social worker helping patients and families navigate some of the hardest moments of their lives. This clip is just the start. The full episode covers 988 vs 911, what really happens when a family calls the wrong number in a crisis, and the moment involving a 6-year-old on a psychiatric hold that brought a coworker to tears.
