Also would be very interested to hear from those who were involuntarily treated themselves

    I hope you don’t call police anymore because you’re likely to get them killed now a days. Instead just call social services or something but not the police.

      There isn’t anything here yet (you can’t call 911 and get someone other than the cops, there is a helpline for people to call themselves though, a suicide prevention line that does try to put people in touch with help) and I strongly agree with you it’s not police work. Luckily she was a young white lady, sort of cop kryptonite.

      Hopefully it’s better in other places but it’s a difficult problem, no way to make it an easy one.
