    In This Episode 144

    Individuals in mental health crisis often cannot make informed choices for themselves. Far too often, law enforcement or first responders must quickly assess a situation, make judgements about keeping the public and the individual in crisis safe and respond quickly to address their needs for mental health treatment. One tool currently being evaluated in California is Psychiatric Advanced Directives, also known as “PADS” or P-A-D-S. These PADs are used to protect the legal rights of people with mental health conditions.

    Our host for this episode is Gary Shaheen. Gary is the Director for Mental Health Initiatives at Burton Blatt Institute at Syracuse University. Gary will be speaking with Kiran Sahota, the Founder of Concepts Forward Consulting. For the last few years, Kiran and Gary have been working together on a project in California to develop and support the use of web-based Psychiatric Advanced Directives (PADs). They will tell us more about this innovative project.
