1 The League of Women Voters - Janesville April 2016 The Front Line Experience in a Mental Health Crisis Mary Buelow Wellness Committee The Wellness Committee hosted its second forum, The Front Line Experience in a Mental Health Crisis, on March 17. We heard about the experience of mental health crises from three different perspectives. Parent Rose Helms spoke about her experience trying to get help for her daughter during a particularly dangerous manic episode. Mike Jones from Rock County Crisis employee talked about the role of Crisis Services. Jenny Kleinert from Sometimes the individual in crisis can reach out and obtain help on their own. Other times a mental illness interferes with their understanding that anything is wrong. Mercy Hospital s Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit spoke about managing patients with mental health crises in a hospital setting. A crisis is defined as any situation where a person s behaviors puts them at risk of hurting themselves or others, or when their usual coping strategies are overwhelmed and they need urgent support. Sometimes the individual in crisis can reach out and obtain help on their own. Other times a mental illness interferes with their understanding that anything is wrong. When that happens their family, friends, and community members need to reach out and connect them with the help they need. In crisis situations everyone involved wants Page 2 Page 2 Page 3 Page 5 What s Inside this Issue Mental Health Public Meeting City Council Candidates Forum City Council & Calendar School Board Forum what s best for the person and many pieces of the response go smoothly. But there are frustrations and gaps in the process as well. Our panel members pointed out a number of those gaps and frustrations. One gap is communication. Family members play an important role helping an individual through crisis, but medical privacy laws can shut them out of the treatment process. Other gaps occur because crisis tend to occur in clusters. There are times a patient needs an inpatient bed and all beds are in use by other people in crisis. Many gaps are economic. Inpatient psych beds are not profitable and so hospitals are reluctant to increase their numbers. Insurance will cover some services but not others, and some services are paid for only if certain specific conditions are met. Recent events are putting additional strain on the system. Kleinert reported that since the State closed Mendota Mental Health Institute to civil commitments, they ve noticed patients showing up in the Emergency Room who are State Annual Meeting Informa- Page 4-6 tion Page 7 H See Front Line, Page 2 Tuesday, April 5, 2016 Polling Places are open 7 a.m. Until 8 p.m. Acting on Awareness Form

We did hear some good news. One problem with the opiate/heroin epidemic has been that addicts have been able to shop around and get prescriptions from The Legal System and Mental Illness. Mary Buelow Mental Health Committee At our third forum on Mental Health issues we will be discussing The Legal System and Mental Illness. Sgt Michael Blazer from the Janesville Police Department will talk about local Crisis Intervention Team initiatives. CIT Training is a training program to help police officers react appropriately to situations involving mental illness or developmental disability. Linda Scott-Hoag will talk about the legal multiple physicians, without those physicians being aware of the actual number of opiates that individual was taking. Assembly Representative Deb Kolste was in the audience and reported that the Governor had signed a bill that very day which would create a central tracking system for opiate prescriptions. The forum was recorded by Norm Aulabaugh. We will forward the link as soon as it becomes available. Third Mental Health Committee forum scheduled process in Rock County for involuntary commitment to psychiatric care. Judge Michael Fitzpatrick will speak about his experiences from the bench. The forum will be held Thursday April 14, 6:00 pm at the Rock County Job Center.

7 Acting on Awareness: An Inclusive Workplace The workshop will be held on Friday, April 29 from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm at the Mercy Health Mall, 1010 N. Washington Ave., Janesville, WI Thanks to news media, the entertainment industry, and educational efforts, awareness of past and present racial and cultural injustices continues to climb. How can we build on this new sensitivity to effect real change, especially in the work world? Now that we recognize some of the hidden prejudices that surround us, how can we make sure our workplaces welcome all potential employees? Once our hiring practices are truly inclusive, what can we do to ensure respect and encourage retention? This interactive workshop will help participants evaluate and choose positive steps toward making inclusion a reality. Large and small group discussions and videos will make this an empowering experience for all stakeholders.
