I'm interested in having a discussion about the #InvoluntaryCommitment policy proposed by Mayor Adams. As the mother of a #MentallyIll adult child who died last Tuesday, I have feelings about this and am struggling about how we work to alleviate the suffering of people like my son while at the same time acknowledging the potential harms to others (he expressed suicidal/homicidal thoughts while delusional) and also while acknowledging that confining people against their will is problematic. /1
