Will W. Dobud

Summary: OBH, often associated with wilderness therapy, is a residential treatment in the US for young people, with over half being sent via secure transport services. While research shows secure transport does not impact quantitative outcomes, limited studies have explored the experience of OBH participants. This qualitative study analyzes the experiences of nine past OBH adolescent participants through a social work and trauma-informed lens, providing recommendations for ethical practice and future research.

Youths' and Young Adults' Experiences of Police Involvement During Initiation of Involuntary Psychiatric Holds and Transport

Nev Jones et al.

Summary: In the past decade, there has been increasing concern and controversy surrounding the involvement of police in behavioral health crisis response. However, there is limited literature on service users' experiences of interactions with officers, particularly among youths and young adults. This study aimed to investigate the experiences of police involvement in involuntary psychiatric hold initiation and transport among this specific population. The findings reveal that a majority of participants reported negative experiences, characterized by the framing of distress as criminal behavior and intervention as disciplinary rather than therapeutic, perceived aggression and callousness from police officers, and poor communication. The study also highlights the positive experiences reported by a minority of participants and the perspectives of youths on the level of control officers have in decision-making during crisis response. These findings contribute to centering the voices of youths and young adults with mental health challenges and raise important questions about contemporary policies regarding police involvement in crisis response and coercive responses to emotional distress or crisis.

A Closer Look at Involuntary Treatment and the Use of Transport Service in Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare (Wilderness Therapy)

Nevin J. Harper et al.

Summary: Outdoor behavioral healthcare, also known as wilderness therapy, is a treatment option in the United States for adolescents with behavioral, substance abuse, and mental health issues. Research on the impact of transportation on treatment outcomes is inconclusive, with some studies showing little difference between transported and non-transported youth. Further independent and rigorous research is needed to understand the ethical implications of forced transportation and involuntary treatment in OBH.
