Experiences with DCR, SPD, and hospitals dealing with mental crisis

My sibling has been in severe mental crisis since January of this year and my family’s experience with the system has been beyond disappointing–Honestly its been nothing shy of devastating. I used to think WA state was doing quite a few things right when it came to mental health care, but now I am convinced its all just a facade.

So, I am curious to hear about people’s experiences with DCR (Designated Crisis Response), SPD, and local hospitals while either yourself or a loved one was going through mental crisis. Would also be interested in any experiences relating to Joel’s Law.
