Special Episode recorded October 6, 2021 at Capitol Weekly's conference on California's Mental Health Crisis. This is Panel 2: Compelling Treatment – Balancing Individual Rights and ‘Grave Disability’

Respecting personal autonomy while providing treatment is one of the most vexing issues in treatment of severe mental illness and addiction. Our panelists look at this legal and ethical balancing act.

Moderated by Sigrid Bathen of Capitol Weekly

Panelists: Bridgette Dean, Sacramento Department of Community Response; Santa Clara County Mental Health Court Judge Stephen Manley; Al Rowlett, Turning Point Community Programs; Brian Stettin, Treatment Advocacy Center
