This blog is a project for The University of Miami’s Women and Gender Studies “Mental Illness, Gender, and Psychiatry” class. We believe that the Baker Act is an important tool in the state of Florida but it is very complicated. Here on the blog we offer the history, legal information, the affects on individuals, and helpful websites regarding the Baker Act.
The main goal of this blog is to create one location where comprehensive yet simplified Baker Act information can be found. We will try to remain as unbiased as possible. We will represent the pros and the cons, while not taking any sides. It is our mission to take the Baker Act and break it down into the most useful and basic parts to understand
We will also offer links to related sites and a brief summary on each site’s content.We are three University of Miami undergraduate student’s with differing majors. The Baker Act could affect any Floridian. That is why we chose this as our project.
