Are you sure of what you're saying here, New Era? "Changes privacy laws" seems like they want to
change the law. Right now mental health professionals (assuming the same as Canada) can only reach out to police in cases of an immediate threat to themselves or someone else. That's a very high standard and for good reason.
They appear to want that to broaden so that there's more "dialogue" of mental health issues to law enforcement.
