S2 Episode 5: 988

While producing season 2 one of the most widely discussed changes to mental health interventions in the US has been the roll out of 988. 

But what is 988? How does it work? What has changed?

In this episode we interview Aneri Pattani, Rob Wipond, and Yana Calou about 988 and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

S2 Episode 4: Looks Like Criminal Detention

Involuntary psychiatric detentions and civil commitments are legal processes that can deprive a person of their liberties and force them through systems that bring the potential for trauma. These practices were not designed around evidence, or empathy, so why are they legal? And what effect do these types of experiences have on the person being pushed through the system?

In this episode we interview Nev Jones and Molly Linhorst to better understand the legality of civil commitments and the potential impacts of forced hospitalizations.

S2 Episode 3: Hot Potato

Cassidy was handcuffed by police and brought to an ER where she was detained for evaluation. Part of that evaluation included a risk assessment, a clinical tool used to help navigate complex decisions about whether or not to involuntarily detain someone. But what is a risk assessment? How reliable are these tools and why do systems of involuntary detention seem to be built around them?

In this episode we speak to Tim Wand and Morgan Shields to try and better understand risk assessments and what role they play in psychiatric holds and civil commitments.

S2 Episode 2: Precisely No

What is the history of crisis hotlines? What impact does police involvement have on the person perceived to be in distress? In this episode we continue to explore Cassidy’s story and speak to Hannah Zeavin and Jamie Livingston to try and better understand how these systems evolved and how they could be different.

S2 Episode 1: This is Not Care

Cassidy Wilson called a crisis hotline to ask for help. What she received was multiple police officers coming to her home, handcuffing her, and forcibly taking her to an ER for evaluation. That evaluation led to almost a week of involuntary detention. 

In Season 2 of Committable we explore Cassidy’s experiences and continue our journey to deconstruct the systems of psychiatric detention that make situations like this, and the trauma that they can cause, far too common.
