Description

This CLE program delves into Florida’s robust legal framework for addressing urgent substance use and mental health crises through involuntary commitment. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of three key statutes—the Marchman Act, Baker Act, and Guardianship statutes—and their distinct roles in safeguarding individuals who present an immediate danger to themselves due to addiction or mental health disorders.

The presentation will explore how these statutes can be applied independently or in tandem to secure the necessary intervention period, enabling individuals to embark on a transformative path to recovery. Through detailed analysis, practical case examples, and strategic guidance, attendees will learn how to effectively navigate these legal tools to support families, protect vulnerable individuals, and facilitate meaningful, lasting recovery outcomes.

This program is essential for attorneys seeking to make a profound impact in crisis situations involving substance use and mental health challenges.
