Mental Health Crisis Protocol
Summary
In New York, if someone is considered a threat to themselves, they can be detained for psychiatric evaluation. Legal representation is a right, and hearings can contest involuntary commitments. If a counselor determines no danger, involuntary commitment is less likely. Ongoing mental health visits may occur. Consider consulting a mental health law attorney for guidance.Full Conversation
Derry Johnston called police on Patrick because Patrick said that he wasn't worthy of life, and she took that as he was admitting he was suicidal. She made a call for help to the police. Indeed he is home however the police wanted to take him to the mental piece of the emergency clinic it occurred on a Sunday. He didn't go to Jail yet they were searching for self-destructive and suicidal messages on our cell phone. They were aiming to put him in the psychiatric ward at Stony Book hospital.
Hey Patrick! It sounds like a difficult situation. In New York, if someone is deemed a threat to themselves, authorities can temporarily detain them for a psychiatric evaluation. This is often referred to as an involuntary commitment.
- You have the right to legal representation.
- You can request a hearing to contest the commitment.
- Mental health professionals will assess your situation during the evaluation.
Do you need guidance on how to proceed or legal representation?

But they had him talk to a counselor from the Dash crisis center at the house and the counselor determined that he wasn't a danger to himself or others so they didn't land up taking him there. But they still are having a mobile mental health crisis counselors visit our house one came yesterday for him and now there will be another one coming sometime this week.
And presently there will be another approaching at some point this week. So my friend named Derry called the police and afterward the police called the crisis counselors.
It seems like the situation with Patrick is being handled through mental health services rather than legal action at this point. Since the counselor determined Patrick wasn't a danger, it reduced the likelihood of involuntary commitment.
If Patrick feels uncomfortable with the ongoing visits or has questions about his rights, he might consider speaking with a lawyer experienced in mental health law. Would he be interested in connecting with local lawyers for further assistance?
