Overview
Many people are confused about what to do in the face of a mental health emergency. In an ideal situation, clients with mental illness who are experiencing a crisis situation will consent to evaluation and participate in the treatment process. Unfortunately, there are many circumstances that may influence clients to reject evaluation and treatment, including fear, prior negative experiences, the state of the mental health system, and mental health symptoms themselves (paranoia, delusions, hallucinations, etc.). The 1013 Form in Georgia provides an avenue by which these clients can be involuntarily detained until receiving a thorough mental health evaluation in the event an authorized clinician assesses a substantial risk of imminent harm to self or others, or an inability of the client to care for his/her own physical health and safety. While arguably necessary for the safety and wellbeing of the client and others, the 1013 process is not without ethical dilemmas. Learning to identify a crisis and to be able to navigate the mental health system is critical to the care of the client and ensures the safety of the people around the client. In this informative ethical conversation, Ralph Menard, LPC, PhD-Candidate will present an overview of the 1013 process in Georgia, including tips on assessing mental health emergencies and a discussion on the common diagnosis for people presenting in the ER in crisis.

By Attending Our Workshop, You Will Be Able To:

  • Identify a mental health emergency
  • Demonstrate a suicide/homicide risk assessment, a mental status exam, and a substance abuse evaluation
  • Differentiate commonly used legal forms (1013/2013, 1009/1012, 1014, 1021, etc.)
  • Relate clear expectations for clients/families who will be placed on a 1013/2013
  • Apply professional ethical standards to dilemmas that can occur around the 1013 process
