Our mental health is just as important as our physical health. It’s important to know the resources available for you so you can help yourself or those in your life who are struggling with their mental health.

In this twenty-sixth episode, I am re-releasing episode 10 to emphasize the importance of understanding what a Mental Health 5150 is. You will hear from Renee Balcom, a health advocate advisor, to discuss how and when a 5150 should be incorporated in a situation. If you are ever with someone who is mentally unstable and causing a safety concern for themselves or others, a Mental Health 5150 will be of great help. Throughout this episode, Renee shares stories from her work with clients that she has had to call a 5150 for, what her advice is for when you need to call for a 5150, her steps for working with clients, and more.
