If someone you know is engaging in self-harming behavior, please convince them to go to a hospital! I will find out whether they might have a choice of which hospital in the circumstance that they are “sectioned” by an LICSW, but keep in mind that when someone is sectioned, it is because in a clinician’s professional judgment, doing otherwise would likely be lethal.
