@cledocumenters @216cpc @PolicyMattersOH Benito wants to create a panel to explain what mental health hospitalisation looks like. Commissioner Terri Wang is asking for details about the proposed panel guests. She wants to see people with a variety of clinical & life experiences with the subject.

@cledocumenters @216cpc @PolicyMattersOH Wang wants to see more diversity & more people with lived experience with mental health hospitalization on the panel.

@cledocumenters @216cpc @PolicyMattersOH Earley says it's the "best of both worlds" to have professionals with clinical experience on the panel as well & backs up the proposed panelists. Benito says Wang is welcome to bring her own suggested panelists.

@cledocumenters @216cpc @PolicyMattersOH The purpose of the panel is to explain "pink-slipping", or emergency hospitalization of persons in a mental health crisis. In the UK we called this "sectioning". . www-s3-live.kent.edu/s3fs-root/s3fs…
