The debate over Hochul's involuntary commitment plan
Update: 2025-03-04
Description
Evelyn Graham-Nyaasi knows what it’s like to be involuntarily committed for mental health treatment.
“ I was locked up in the room where all these people were screaming and yelling,” she said. “There were no toilet seats, no doors, nothing. It was a horrible experience.”
She's part of a group of advocates battling Gov. Kathy Hochul's plan to expand the state's standard for involuntary commitment. They say it would infringe on civil rights, while proponents argue it would boost public safety.
