How often do find yourself dealing with someone who is seriously mentally ill?

Asked by syz (35938points) December 29th, 2014

We have a client who is clearly and severely mentally ill that we’ve been dealing with for the past month (not our field). I hesitate to include too many details for reasons of confidentiality. But we found ourselves in a professionally very difficult situation and were also concerned about the safety of our staff and the welfare of a pet.

Do you have many interactions on a professional level with severe mental illness? Do you have any specific training? Protocols?
