It's family support. Those without it are exponentially more likely to end up back in the criminal justice system. It's not to say that obviously, of course, it can happen even if they have family support. But it's important that the judge knows that family support is there. And so that can come from writing a personalized letter to a judge is what I often recommend that families do.

Explaining your history, explaining your ability and your availability and your willingness to support your loved one. What type of ancillary care and support you can provide, whether that be like a psychiatrist, whomever, really intimating strongly to that judge. Judge, I'm going to try to take care of my loved one to the best of my ability.

I have the availability, the desire, the willingness to do it. and while simultaneously hopefully having somebody that can educate them on it. And you're right, it's where a legal system works, right? Judges have very far-reaching authority, and sometimes it's the luck of the draw of who ends up taking your case.

just in general and keeping along the theme of what to do when your loved one is incarcerated or arrested. Because unfortunately, because of the way that our healthcare system is, that's what frequently happens. I think that a lot of families I speak to And I've done presentations for NAMI and related organizations.

When the liberal is having a crisis, they're panicked and they assume law enforcement will come help them and take them to the hospital. What I always tell them is you don't get it unless you ask. And just because spoken to the 911 operator doesn't mean that's necessarily going to be translated to the responding officer.

What I recommend is that if you can step outside, speak to the officer first, explain that the person either needs to be hospitalized or whatever it may be to try and avoid an arrest.

And the other thing, and I meant to bring this up earlier too, is even before calling law enforcement, assuming it's not an acute crisis, check and see if your county has a local crisis team, like a mobile crisis team is what we call it in Palm Beach County. where they'll actually have a social worker or a therapist come out and respond. Every county and state is specific.

So if your loved one is having these issues, find some local support groups, local autism support groups, caregiver support groups, NAMI support groups, so that those families and those parents can tell you specifically how they navigated it.
