Governor Newsom's Mental Health Bill

Postby CasimirForce » Sat Oct 14, 2023 7:43 pm

What are your thoughts on the Bill Gov. Newsom recently signed? (Mental Health Services Act, and Assembly Bill 531) It looks like they're increasing funding for mental health which is good, but I'm concerned about the possibility of involuntary treatment. Am I catastrophizing that they may decide to put anyone with MH issues bad enough to warrant disability into an asylum? I don't believe California would do that but I live in a predominately right wing area and am worried they'll take Newsom's initiative and run with it.
