What happens when care ends without a fully vetted plan? For too many individuals, an involuntary discharge means sudden displacement at the very moment stability matters most.
Join Us for a FREE, invitation-only screening of the award-winning short film Involuntary, followed by a conversation, affecting care, dignity and safety across Rhode Island and including the filmmakers, moderated by neutral professionals from healthcare, journalism and behavioral health.
This event marks a critical starting point to bring healthcare providers, policymakers, families, and community members together to build shared awareness and begin a necessary conversation rooted in dignity, safety, and respect. Our hope is not just to highlight a problem, but to ignite a Rhode Island-specific conversation toward awareness and reform. Our goal is to ensure that no Rhode Islander is left at risk due to systemic gaps or administrative regulations. To solve this, we need more than just policy—we need a collective inclusive vision.
Across hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living, and behavioral health settings in Rhode Island, involuntary discharges can occur during moments of illness, confusion, or crisis—disrupting the promise of safe, stable care.
Why This Matters
Involuntary discharges are rarely the result of a single decision or individual
System pressures can leave people without safe or appropriate transitions
As our population ages, the practices we tolerate today will shape the care we all experience tomorrow. Join us for the start of a necessary conversation.
Space is limited. RSVP to attend.
