Overview
In California, the main law governing mental health evaluation and treatment is the Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) Act. Section 5150 of this Act provides for a legal involuntary hold. For a wide variety of reasons, more than 50 years after the law was enacted, confusion and challenges still exist surrounding Section 5150. Other states have similar involuntary hold, mental health evaluation and associated challenges. Please join use for a one-hour webinar discussing the facts and fiction surrounding these holds and risk mitigation strategies to consider when caring for these patients.
