Lanterman Petris Short Act Education

Service Description

Did you know that the Lanterman Petris Short Act, which governs over California's 5150 Holds, was specifically put in place to make sure that mental health patients maintain all their Civil Rights. It was meant to protect them from unnecessary isolation from family, their regular doctors, their loved ones, and to make sure they have access to an independent patient advocate, whether that is a registered nurse, family member, or other trusted friend. Educate yourself about your rights under the Lanterman Petris Short Act. This session is tailored for individuals and families seeking a deeper understanding of mental health rights and protections under California's Lanterman Petris Short Act (LPS).
